- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Keeper's Corner
How far is Keeper's Corner from London?
About 24 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Keeper's Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Keeper's Corner, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
