How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Late-September sunset in Pett is about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your residents

Pett questions
Which station is closest to Pett?
Three Oaks station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
How far is Pett from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?

What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
