FAQs for Herstmonceux
Is Herstmonceux close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Herstmonceux too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we will cater for all.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
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.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

For a staff lunch in Herstmonceux, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
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. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Someone to meet us at reception
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
