Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Sedlescombe: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Sedlescombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Sedlescombe close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
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.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you cover Sedlescombe?
Yes, Sedlescombe is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to 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. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
