What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. After-work summer events in Penhurst have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

FAQs for Penhurst
What’s the nearest station to Penhurst?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about family fun days?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
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. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
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.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: use our quote form.

What else we do in Penhurst
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
- 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 by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
