The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In late September, sunset in Hunny Hill is about 7:10pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.

Hunny Hill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you roast near the sea around Hunny Hill?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
