A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the alternatives clearly

A cooked roast can wait.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Worth Abbey
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Worth Abbey close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different; share your list and we will respond.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Worth Abbey lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
