What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

What else we do in Windmill Hill
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Windmill Hill questions
Is Windmill Hill close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
