A hog roast across TN1: what to know
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in TN1, so the setting can be anything from Royal Tunbridge Wells, Broadwater Down and High Brooms to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Royal Tunbridge Wells: For anyone arriving by rail, Tunbridge Wells station, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Churches such as Parish Church of St Barnabas rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Around midsummer it stays light in Royal Tunbridge Wells until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
