Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Horton Heath
Is Horton Heath close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
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 picture if you are unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer shoots near Horton Heath have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
