About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Trolliloes too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Trolliloes and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need a big space?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
