Staplecross questions
Is Staplecross close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve on plates?
We’ll serve however suits your residents.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-September sunset in Staplecross is about 7:00pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day

How we price a hog roast day
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Staplecross
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
