Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Travel to Red Hill
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
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.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.

How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event in Red Hill. Light matters for a long roast: in Red Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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 clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Red Hill: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Red Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you cater in Red Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Red Hill and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
