Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in River
Is River close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is River too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do. Send us the details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, daylight in River lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
