What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Stuffing and apple sauce

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How we price a hog roast for your party

Your quote depends on:

  • Plates or china
  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • The number of people
  • Travel to Chapel Row

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Details that help

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:

  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • The date and time of the event
  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or BN27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Questions from Chapel Row

What’s the nearest station to Chapel Row?

Pevensey Bay station, about 4.8 miles south of the centre.

We are gathering after a service at Herstmonceux Free Church: can you cater?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Do you bring a gazebo?

Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.

How far ahead should we book?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?

Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.

Where does the hog roast go?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
  • Think about children’s portions
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Collect dietary needs when guests reply

We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.

China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

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. A summer party in Chapel Row stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the garden or drive and quote.
  3. We arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day

How to get a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
