Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Droxford
How far is Droxford from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Droxford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
A cooked roast can wait.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster

Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
