Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Blackheath
Which station is closest to Blackheath?
The closest is Chilworth station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we will cater for all.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. If your staff event in Blackheath runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:55pm in December.
