How far is Cousley Wood from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Cousley Wood?
Wadhurst station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
