What else we do in Robertsbridge
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
FAQs for Robertsbridge

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Robertsbridge is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or TN32 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
