Questions from Baldslow
Could you cook in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Baldslow close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you cover Baldslow?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Baldslow and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
What does the production need from you?
Requirements vary by production; share your list and we will respond.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Baldslow is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
