Sunninghill: your questions answered
How far is Sunninghill from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
