Slinfold questions
Can you do a hog roast in Farlington Strood Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Slinfold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you cater in Slinfold?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Slinfold and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, daylight in Slinfold lasts until about 9:20pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A named contact at base
- A covered eating area
- Access agreed with locations
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
