Lamberhurst Quarter: your questions answered
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 work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Lamberhurst Quarter from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. 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. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
