Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in West End
Could you cook in Claremont Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like West End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

A hog roast compared with other options
