FAQs for Hadlow Down
Is Hadlow Down close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you cover Hadlow Down?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hadlow Down and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.

- The serving time and how long we are on site

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Think about children’s portions
