A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from locations
- A named contact at base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
Bushey Mead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll advise before you book.
