FAQs for Toothill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Toothill close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up

How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
