How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Heckfield Heath, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- We confirm the space and send a price.

For event organisers in Heckfield Heath
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from Heckfield Heath
Could you cook in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Heckfield Heath too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
