Hunston: your questions answered
How far is Hunston from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A level pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
