Is a hog roast right for your shoot?

Step by step

- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Deane
Is Deane close to London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Deane too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you get to rural locations?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
