Winchelsea questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Rye Harbour LNR?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack up whatever the weather.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
