Planning the cooking spot

Common questions in Tongham
How far is Tongham from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
For event organisers in Tongham
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
