How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Catsfield have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Common questions in Catsfield
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Catsfield
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
