Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Sunset in Maresfield is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Maresfield questions
Can you do a hog roast in West Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you cover Maresfield?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
