About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Buxted?
Buxted has its own station: Buxted station.
How long does the roast need?
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 the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.

Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. A summer party in Buxted stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes

- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
