Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Lamberhurst Quarter, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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 arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
