What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

How far is Fencott from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Fencott?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

- Count crew needing an alternative
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Vehicle access to base
- A contact in production
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Fencott lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
