FAQs for Grubb Street
Is Grubb Street close to London?
About 17 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Grubb Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
A second meat widens the menu.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
