Is Saddlescombe too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Waterhall?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Saddlescombe and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you get to rural locations?

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-September shoots near Saddlescombe lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
