Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Clearance from other stalls and tents

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Framfield: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

What’s the nearest station to Framfield?
Uckfield station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we will respond.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
