Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Chelwood Gate
Do you come out to small places like Chelwood Gate?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Chelwood Gate from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Send us the details.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.

Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
