Slow-roasted pork in Balcombe
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Open days in Balcombe usually finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.

Common questions in Balcombe
Is Balcombe close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Balcombe?
Balcombe has its own station: Balcombe station.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.

- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
