Questions from Headley
Do you come out to small places like Headley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Headley close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access through the site gates
- Shelter for the team
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Open days in Headley normally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm.
