Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Friar's Gate
How far is Friar's Gate from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
