Town Row questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald 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.
Is Town Row too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
