What else we do in Sissinghurst
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Sissinghurst stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
