Your questions about a hog roast for your team in South Malling
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Railway Land?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
