Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Colt's Hill
Do you come out to small places like Colt's Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, Colt's Hill is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
