Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Addington questions
Which station is closest to Addington?
The closest is West Wickham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Addington?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Addington are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
