Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking near the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Questions from Stockcross
Is Stockcross close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you cover Stockcross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Stockcross and the rest of West Berkshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
