FAQs for Buckland

About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Buckland?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Buckland, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
