Questions from Horney Common
Which station is closest to Horney Common?
Buxted station, about 2.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Horney Common?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
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.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
