Questions from Hammerwood
Is Hammerwood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
For event organisers in Hammerwood

How we price a hog roast for your party
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Travel to Hammerwood
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.

- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. For an evening party in Hammerwood, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: 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.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
