Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

Etchingwood: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
