About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Furnace Green: your questions answered
How far is Furnace Green from London?

Could you cook in Tilgate Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Can you do gluten-free?

Can you trade at our Christmas fair?

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, it’s dark in Furnace Green by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
