Common questions in Hangleton
Could you cook in Benfield Hill?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Hangleton?
Portslade station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you do soft food?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will give your team the information they need.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Sign-off from management
- Someone to meet us
- Flat ground in the grounds
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
