Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Travel to Trolliloes
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Questions from Trolliloes
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Do you come out to small places like Trolliloes?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Trolliloes is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
How to get a price

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
