Organising for someone else?

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Holton Hill
How far is Holton Hill from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens if it is dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
