Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Cuxton questions
What’s the nearest station to Cuxton?
Cuxton station, in Cuxton itself.
Could you cook in Baty's Marsh?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What meats can we have?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you come to Cuxton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Cuxton and Medway. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
