Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in Three Leg Cross
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Where can you serve a wake?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What if the service runs late?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans

Working with your venue

If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short route for the equipment
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A level spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
