A hog roast or other catering?
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Blacknest ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Blacknest
Is Blacknest close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Blacknest?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
