West Green: your questions answered
Is West Green 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.
How far is West Green from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
Not much: a level area at base.
Do you cover West Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including West Green and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
To get a quote, just 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. Send us your details through our quote form.
Where the roaster can go in West Green
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- Shelter for crew
- A route for our vehicle

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We clear our spot after lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
