Questions from Little Heath
How far is Little Heath from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Calcot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Send the location and access notes and we will plan the journey.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
