Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. A summer party in Rye Foreign stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

- Keep the vegetarian option labelled

What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Questions from Rye Foreign
Can you roast near the sea around Rye Foreign?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Rye Foreign?
Rye station, about 1.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your 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. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you come to Rye Foreign?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Rye Foreign and the rest of East Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
