Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it is light in Highbrook until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Getting a price

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Highbrook
Do you come out to small places like Highbrook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. 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, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
