At country workplaces around Four Throws, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Questions from Four Throws
Could you cook in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater in Four Throws?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll make it work.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Open days in Four Throws usually finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For event organisers in Four Throws
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
