Slow-roasted pork in Staplecross
Hog roast hire in Staplecross, carved to order
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Staplecross. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and wakes, with halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a rural place like Staplecross, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Site access
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. 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 us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Our staff serve and clear

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works

- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day

Your questions about a hog roast in Staplecross
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at St Marks Staplecross?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
