Lower Horsebridge questions
What’s the nearest station to Lower Horsebridge?
Polegate station, about 4.1 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do residents have to eat rolls?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
