A hog roast near Honey Hill
Questions from Honey Hill
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Honey Hill close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Party hog roast in Honey Hill, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and family reunions, serving coleslaw, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.
Country parties near Honey Hill suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Events we cater in Honey Hill
Hardly any clearing up, because we bring plates and clear away.
Here’s what people in Honey Hill most frequently book a hog roast for:
- Wedding anniversaries
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Engagement parties
- Big family get-togethers
If you had Tyler Hill Meadow in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
Questions to ask before you book
- Travel and any London charges
- VAT, if it applies
- Staffing on the day
- The menu, including sides and any extras
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access

What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and time of the event

- Your menu choices

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are 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.
