Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Eastbury
How far is Eastbury from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Eastbury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- A firm way on and off the field
- Space for people to queue
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

For event organisers in Eastbury
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
