Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How we price a hog roast for your event
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.

Can you roast near the sea around Udimore?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Udimore?
Winchelsea station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
