Argos Hill questions
How far is Argos Hill from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Argos Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal is not available.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Why choose a hog roast in Argos Hill?

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
