Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Calvert?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

For event organisers in Calvert
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Late-May events in Calvert have light until about 9:00pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event 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.
