Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Cryers Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Cryers Hill close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Cryers Hill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
