Inner Avenue questions
How far is Inner Avenue from London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Level hardstanding or lawn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
