How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer hog roast day in Icklesham, 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.

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
