FAQs for Saltwood
How far is Saltwood from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Saltwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Working with your venue
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.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re 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.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
