- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.

FAQs for Bluetown
Could you cook in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Bluetown close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
