Waldron: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Passingworth Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you cover Waldron?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Waldron and the rest of East Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Christmas hog roast in Waldron, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Waldron, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. On the menu are roast turkey, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for club and society Christmas parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Waldron, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for our equipment
- Light by the serving table
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Waldron in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Your quote depends on:
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Waldron
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
