What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.

Denham Golf Club station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Is Baker's Wood close to London?
About 19 miles from central London.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Baker's Wood ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
