Lindfield questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Lindfield?
Haywards Heath station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come to Lindfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Lindfield and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. 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.
Why Lindfield hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Questions to ask before you book
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Staffing on the day
- Any travel or access charges
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Lindfield until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.

- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
