Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode

Where the roaster can go in Erith
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A route for our vehicle
- A named contact at base
Erith is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, daylight in Erith lasts until about 9:20pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your crew

Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
