DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What else we do in Rookley Green
How we price a hog roast for your party
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO38 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Rookley Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Salads
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it’s light in Rookley Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Rookley Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Rookley Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Rookley Green?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cover Rookley Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Rookley Green and the Isle of Wight. Send us the address for a quote.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
