Hook questions
Is Hook too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Hamble Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll confirm.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
Do you cover Hook?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hook and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By late September, sunset near Hook is about 7:10pm, so plan lights for evening service.

For event organisers in Hook
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
