Before you choose a spot

- Flat ground outside the hall or house
- A safe distance from the hall
- Space inside for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Questions from Netherfield
Is Netherfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We do our best at short notice. Send the date and venue for a quick answer.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Where can you serve a wake?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you need anything from the family?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, check whether we can cater there. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

For anyone coming to the funeral by train, Battle station is about 2.9 miles away. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Netherfield, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
