Questions from Charlton
Can you do a hog roast in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater in Charlton?
Yes, Charlton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.

Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, with crackling for everyone who wants it. On a winter shoot near Charlton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
