About our hog roast hire in Three Chimneys
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Whether it is birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Three Chimneys, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Your questions about a hog roast in Three Chimneys
Is Three Chimneys close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Around midsummer it stays light in Three Chimneys until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What affects the price in Three Chimneys
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
