Hart Plain: your questions answered
How far is Hart Plain from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Hart Plain?
Rowlands Castle station, about 3.1 miles east of the centre.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you go to remote locations?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What affects the price in Hart Plain
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. On a winter shoot near Hart Plain, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
