Riverhead: your questions answered
How far is Riverhead from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Montreal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What will our facilities team need?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

What to look for in a quote
- Travel and any London charges
- Who carves and who serves
- Whether plates or china are included
- What the price includes, item by item
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We will sign in and follow site rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
