FAQs for Heathfield
Is Heathfield close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you work to set times?
That’s exactly how we work.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Where does the hog roast go?
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 will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Post allergen details at base
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack away straight after service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. On a winter shoot near Heathfield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Rough numbers
