FAQs for Hollingrove
What’s the nearest station to Hollingrove?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
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 will follow the site rules.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Away from opening windows
- Someone to meet us
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Hollingrove, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your residents

What affects the price in Hollingrove
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
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.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
