FAQs for Nuthurst
Can you do a hog roast in Leonardslee?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Nuthurst from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
What paperwork do you provide?
Requirements vary by production.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Why choose a hog roast in Nuthurst?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planners, venues and businesses
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.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact at base
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
We pack away straight after service.
