Hersden: your questions answered
How far is Hersden from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Hersden?
The closest is Sturry station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can a company book?
Send your requirements, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
What will our facilities team need?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
