Spit-roast lamb

Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Questions from Ditton Hill

A hog roast compared with other options
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, daylight in Ditton Hill lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
