Common questions in Scaynes Hill
How far is Scaynes Hill from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Scaynes Hill?
Haywards Heath station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it’s light in Scaynes Hill until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Hosting a hog roast party in Scaynes Hill
Scaynes Hill is about 2 miles east of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. We bring a hog roast for your party to parties anywhere in Scaynes Hill, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.

For guests coming by train, Haywards Heath station is about 2.4 miles away. A green space like Eastern Road Nature Reserve is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Scaynes Hill is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Parties anywhere in RH17 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests.

Planning the cooking spot

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:

- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
