Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Questions from Slaugham
Is Slaugham 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.
Is Slaugham close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
