Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Langley questions
How far is Langley from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Langley?
The closest is Bearsted station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Site access
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your menu choices

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Sunset in Langley is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
