For event organisers in Laleham
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

What affects the price in Laleham
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Questions from Laleham
What’s the nearest station to Laleham?
Staines station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Laleham from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
