Northiam questions
How far is Northiam from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
