Bells Yew Green: your questions answered
Is Bells Yew Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
