Questions from Punnett's Town
How far is Punnett's Town from London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will be ready.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
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.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Post allergen details at base
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We work to the location’s rules.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book our hog roast in Punnett's Town
- Served at the time you choose
