A hog roast compared with other options
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Long Wittenham hosts choose us

- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
Read how we price or what a hog roast costs.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. On a winter shoot near Long Wittenham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day

Long Wittenham questions
How far is Long Wittenham from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Long Wittenham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have documents for locations?
Requirements vary by production.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Can you serve at our lunch call?
That’s exactly how we work.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- One contact for the day
- Sign-off from the location
- Vehicle access to base
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
