Questions from Hurst
Which station is closest to Hurst?
The closest is Twyford station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is Hurst close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

What about family fun days?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Hurst hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Read how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A named contact for the day
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Hurst have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
