For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
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. Sort that first.
How our party hog roast works in Tile Hurst
For a christening or naming day in Tile Hurst, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for retirement parties and christenings and naming days.
In a small place like Tile Hurst, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Common questions in Tile Hurst
Which station is closest to Tile Hurst?
Polegate station, about 3.4 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Should I cook it myself?

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
