Questions from Stanford in the Vale
How far is Stanford in the Vale from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening staff events in Stanford in the Vale need light after sunset: about 9:25pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
