For event organisers in Farlington
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Common questions in Farlington
Is Farlington close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Can you roast near the sea around Farlington?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the garden or car park, agreed with the manager.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Looking after everyone
Some residents will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request thin slices
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count families and staff too
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Serving on plates is often easier.
How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
