We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

Munstead Heath questions
Is Munstead Heath too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get to rural locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes
