Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party in Battle. At midsummer, it’s light in Battle until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day

Battle questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What affects the price in Battle
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
