Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
  • Parking near the cooking area
  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

  • Hog roast rolls
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • Salads
  • Roast potatoes

The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

What we need to know

To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:

  • What the outdoor space is like
  • The address or postcode
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • Any venue rules

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wadhurst

Is Wadhurst close to London?

Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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 the food be served indoors?

Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.

Do you clear up?

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

Can you do gluten-free?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Is turkey available?

Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.

Where does the hog roast go?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

The process

We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party. Late-December sunset in Wadhurst comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

  1. Ask early for a December date.
  2. We check your venue and send a quote.
  3. We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
  4. We serve pork, turkey and sides.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage
