Common questions in Heathfield
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 follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at St Richards Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Heathfield
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

- How many staff will carve and serve
- Allergen information for every dish
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- A clear list of what’s included
Should I cook it myself?

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. A summer party in Heathfield stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A spot well away from the house
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
