Common questions in Lingfield Common
Can you do a hog roast in Lingfield Wildlife Area?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you cover Lingfield Common?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Light matters for a long roast: in Lingfield Common, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
