Blackbrook questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Blackbrook?
Holmwood station, about 2 miles south of the centre.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What space does the roaster need?
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.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give final numbers in good time
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Catered or do it yourself?
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 roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
