Wadhurst questions
Do you cater at venues 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 Wadhurst from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, Wadhurst is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A queuing area
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices

- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
