Questions from Whitewood
Do you come out to small places like Whitewood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Whitewood close to London?
About 21 miles from central London.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A named contact for the day
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
