Swanton questions
Is Swanton close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Swanton?
Wateringbury station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can a hog roast raise money?
We’re happy to talk it through and we will see what’s possible.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What else we do in Swanton
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Summer events in Swanton have daylight until about 9:20pm 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.
