Common questions in Charndon
Is Charndon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Charndon from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot in Charndon. On a winter shoot near Charndon, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

- We serve when lunch is called.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access to base
- One contact for the day
- Sign-off from the location
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Charndon hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
