Within reach of Maynard's Green are historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (4.2 miles south). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. After a service at Christ Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Maynard's Green, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
For events in TN21, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include West Street Lane, Tubwell Lane and Sicklehatch Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Light matters for a long roast: around Maynard's Green, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us a contact number for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
