Full catering or machine hire?

Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Balance the food line-up
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-September events in Guestling lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Guestling: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far is Guestling from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Permission for cooking on the site
