Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Soberton
How far is Soberton from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Soberton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Send us the details.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book?

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
