Latimer: your questions answered
How far is Latimer from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Halal is not offered
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
