A hog roast across RH17: what to know
From Haywards Heath, Cuckfield and Ardingly to 27 villages and hamlets, bookings across RH17 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The High Weald National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RH17, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Cuckfield: Churches such as Holy Trinity Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. For anyone arriving by rail, Haywards Heath station, about 1.5 miles east, is the nearest station. In Cuckfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Questions from RH17
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
