Hareplain questions
Is Hareplain close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 will follow the site rules.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you come to Hareplain?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hareplain and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Why choose a hog roast in Hareplain?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side

- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
