Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- 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. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Longcot is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Questions from Longcot
How far is Longcot from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Longcot too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you set up at the unit base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
