About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Ticehurst lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Your questions about a hog roast in Ticehurst
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Ticehurst?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
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.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
