Grove Hill questions
Is Grove Hill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 work to set times?
We work to your schedule, holding the roast if lunch moves.
Do you have alternatives?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
Where the roaster can go in Grove Hill
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
- A named contact at base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer, for a wrap or a milestone. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Read how we price and the cost guide.
