Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
As a London location, Pratt's Bottom is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

About the food

How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The journey to the venue

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like

Send us the date, the address or BR6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an evening party in Pratt's Bottom, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Questions from Pratt's Bottom
We’re gathering after a service at All Souls' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
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 often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
