Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Open days in Iden normally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Questions from Iden
What’s the nearest station to Iden?
The closest is Rye station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Iden?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
What affects the price in Iden
Things that change the price:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
