Common questions in Murston
Could you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Murston close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.

- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn parties in Murston get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
