Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In summer, Eastergate has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day

Eastergate questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Eastergate?
Barnham station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
