- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A named contact at base
As a London location, Hale End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: 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 before booking.
