Questions from Hawley
How far is Hawley from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Hawley?
Hawley has its own station: Blackwater station.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like

Planning a hog roast in Hawley
Hawley is about 2 miles south of Sandhurst, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in Hawley, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cater all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 10 miles away.
If you had Sandhurst Memorial Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. PTAs at schools such as Hawley Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
We cover events in every part of GU17 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include London Road, Hawley Green and Fernhill Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Hawley is on the A30, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Hawley, we also cover Watchmoor (1 mile east), Blackwater (1 mile north-west), Frogmore (1 mile north-west), York Town (1 mile north-east) and College Town (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Basingstoke (15 miles west), Fleet (4 miles south-west), Aldershot (6 miles south), Alton (15 miles south-west), Bordon (15 miles south) and Hook (8 miles west).
A little further out are Staff College Museum (1.6 miles north-east) and Frimley Park Hospital (1.7 miles east). Within reach you will find Wildmoor Heath and Horseshoe Lake.
- Nearby schools include Fernhill School and Language College (0.9 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find Mr Bumble pub (within half a mile north)
- Other local spots include Royal Military Academy Library (1.3 miles north-east)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Hawley. Around midsummer it stays light in Hawley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
