FAQs for Frant
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Frant from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
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.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer events in Frant 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.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
