Our hog roast hire in TN20
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in TN20, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties.
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Planning a hog roast in TN20
Across TN20, we cover 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Mayfield, Wellbrook and Five Ashes or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. The High Weald National Landscape is within easy reach of places across TN20, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Mayfield: After a service at Church of St. Dunstan, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For guests coming by train, Crowborough station, about 3.6 miles north-west, is the nearest station. By late September, sunset in Mayfield is around 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Numbers
- Site access
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Questions from TN20
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater in TN20?
Yes, TN20 is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
