Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Blackheath: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Manor House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Blackheath?
Blackheath station, in Blackheath itself.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Light matters for a long roast: in Blackheath, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
