- A level spot at base for the roaster
- The location manager’s agreement
- A contact in production
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, daylight in Langley ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
