Tidebrook: your questions answered
Is Tidebrook too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds normally works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Corporate hog roast in Tidebrook, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Tidebrook through the morning and carve at the time you set. Typical bookings include long-service celebrations and team treats, with hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Rural businesses around Tidebrook can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Daytime open days in Tidebrook are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A contact on site
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
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.
