- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Troy Town questions
What’s the nearest station to Troy Town?
The closest is Edenbridge station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Is Troy Town close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Troy Town is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
