Shooter's Hill questions
Which station is closest to Shooter's Hill?
The closest is Falconwood station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Could you cook in Eaglesfield Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need a big space?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

What a hog roast costs

- How many people are eating

- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Shooter's Hill, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Shooter's Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
