Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Fairwarp: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
How far is Fairwarp from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-September shoots near Fairwarp lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lights for evening service.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We get to base first thing, so the roast is ready by lunch.
A second meat widens the menu.

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Fairwarp hosts choose us
