FAQs for Whitehouse
How far is Whitehouse from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Whitehouse?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Whitehouse is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At the end of a shoot, a hog roast feels like a reward. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
