What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Away from vehicles and equipment
- A named contact at base
- Flat ground at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Hethe questions
How far is Hethe from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Hethe?
Bicester North station, about 4 miles south of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That’s exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we will plan the journey.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
