Common questions in Peppard Hill
Do you come out to small places like Peppard Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Peppard Hill close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We’ll agree it with your location manager.
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.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
