Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Whatlington
How far is Whatlington from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Lunchtime bookings in Whatlington are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
