Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access to base
As a London location, Ardleigh Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras

- Distance from us
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
