What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, daylight in Stanmer ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day

Stanmer questions
How far is Stanmer from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Stanmer Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
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.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Send us the date, the address or BN1 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
