Slow-roasted pork in Framfield
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late September, sunset in Framfield is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can sit alongside cakes and tea, which is fine with us. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or TN22 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Common questions in Framfield
Is Framfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Hempstead Meadow?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We hold the food if people are delayed; just let us know.
Add chicken as an alternative.
