- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Travel to Petersham
- Plates or china
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every shoot is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
