Riseden: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Riseden close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we will plan for everyone.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees

At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. After-work summer events in Riseden have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
