Questions from Uckfield
How far is Uckfield from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Hempstead Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Contact us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
