Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:

- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family

Questions from Argos Hill
Which station is closest to Argos Hill?
Crowborough station, about 2.3 miles west of the centre.
Is Argos Hill close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cater in Argos Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Argos Hill and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Most wakes in Argos Hill are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day

- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

For event organisers in Argos Hill
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
