Questions from Hazelwood
Do you come out to small places like Hazelwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Hazelwood close to London?
About 14 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
