Hog roast hire in Hareplain
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Hareplain, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.

Before we arrive

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Hareplain hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved to order by a chef

- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

Your questions about a hog roast in Hareplain
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

How far is Hareplain from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover Hareplain?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
