What else we do in Hanwell
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Hanwell ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hanwell
Can you do a hog roast in Drayton Green?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hanwell?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Generally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A named contact at base
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- The location manager’s agreement
As a London location, Hanwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

- Count crew needing an alternative
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We clear our spot after lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
