Balcombe Lane questions
Is Balcombe Lane close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Balcombe Lane?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Balcombe Lane?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
