If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Greenhithe, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Travel to Greenhithe
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
