The closest is Paddock Wood station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
How much will it be?

What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, daylight in Castle Hill lasts until about 9:15pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
