Woolpack Corner: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Woolpack Corner from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
