What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Granborough: your questions answered
Is Granborough 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.
How far is Granborough from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
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. Ask and we will check.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset near Granborough is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
