Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. After-work summer events in Forest Row have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read how we price or what a hog roast costs.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
