Common questions in East Harting
How far is East Harting from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cover East Harting?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
