What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Wivelsfield Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

FAQs for Wivelsfield Green
Which station is closest to Wivelsfield Green?
The closest is Wivelsfield station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
How far is Wivelsfield Green from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
