Common questions in The Haven
Is The Haven close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is The Haven too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in The Haven?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, as long as it is outdoors.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Shelter for the team
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Evening staff events in The Haven need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:55pm in December.

- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
