Riseley questions
Could you cook in Wellington Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Riseley from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you go to remote locations?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Riseley
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
