How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near Quidhampton is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Questions from Quidhampton
Is Quidhampton close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Quidhampton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
