Wood's Corner questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Wood's Corner from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you cater our wrap?
We do, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

A hog roast or other catering?
