Common questions in Ludgershall
Is Ludgershall close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about a wrap party?
We do. Tell us the date and location.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Ludgershall
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. On a winter shoot near Ludgershall, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
