Questions from Upper Horsebridge
Which station is closest to Upper Horsebridge?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Is Upper Horsebridge close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Upper Horsebridge, sunset is around 8:50pm 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.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
