Blackboys: 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.
Could you cook in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
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 bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
