Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
High Hurstwood: your questions answered
How far is High Hurstwood from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to High Hurstwood?
Buxted station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
