FAQs for Rye Foreign
Which station is closest to Rye Foreign?
The closest is Rye station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is Rye Foreign close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Rye Foreign, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
