Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Where the roaster can go in Ringmer
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Light by the serving table
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
