Questions from Rushlake Green
Is Rushlake Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why choose Christmas hog roast in Rushlake Green?
Turkey and pork together cover everyone.
However big or small the event in Rushlake Green, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings often include:
- End-of-year team celebrations
- Winter fairs and markets
- Sports club Christmas do’s
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Heathfield Community College, suit a hog roast.

We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.

Here’s what affects the price:
