Buxted questions
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.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cater in Buxted?
Yes, Buxted is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Buxted lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
