- Request gluten-free rolls
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.

Blacklands questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Blacklands?
Ore station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
What if things run late?
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will make it work.
Do you cover Blacklands?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Blacklands and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
