Questions from Three Leg Cross
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Three Leg Cross too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Someone to meet us
