Questions from Washington
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Washington from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you go to remote locations?
Send the location and access notes and we’ll plan the journey.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work, holding the roast if lunch moves.

For event organisers in Washington
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Washington ends around 3:55pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
