Common questions in Clifton Hampden
Is Clifton Hampden close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Clifton Hampden too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evenings in Clifton Hampden stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- 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
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
