Common questions in Horton-cum-Studley
Is Horton-cum-Studley close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Katie and George Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with ordering in, we’re already there when lunch is called. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast starts early, and in December Horton-cum-Studley is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
Getting a price
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
