FAQs for Crockerhill
Is Crockerhill 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.
Which station is closest to Crockerhill?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Do you trade at school events?
We do. Check vehicle access with the school.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an autumn event in Crockerhill, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
