Hornton: your questions answered
Is Hornton close to London?
About 70 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Hornton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- The location manager’s agreement
- A safe distance from kit
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
