Questions from Colliers Green
Could you cook in The Gill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Colliers Green need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Events we cater in Colliers Green
One roast feeds everyone together, instead of food in dribs and drabs.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Here are some of the most popular:
- Anniversary parties
- Reunions
- Getting-engaged parties
- Christenings and naming days
A green space like The Gill is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
Comparing caterers
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- How many staff will carve and serve
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Allergen information for every dish
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
