Rotherfield: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Denys?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you come to Rotherfield?
Yes, Rotherfield is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote

Sunset in Rotherfield is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
