Party hog roast in Balls Green, carved to order
In Balls Green, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. For retirement parties and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling for your guests.

Balls Green questions
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 will follow the site rules.
How far is Balls Green from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A heads-up for next door
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Crackling

Historic houses near Balls Green include Bassetts Manor (2.2 miles north-west) and Groombridge Place (2.3 miles east).

Balls Green is within about 5 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Autumn parties in Balls Green get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
