Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Light by the serving table
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Send the allergen list round before the party
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Furner's Green
What’s the nearest station to Furner's Green?
The closest is Haywards Heath station, roughly 5 miles away.
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 follow the site rules.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you come to Furner's Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Furner's Green and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What happens if it is dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
