Common questions in Washington
Do you cater at venues 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.
Is Washington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Modified textures are best done by the home; your team prepares those portions.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

For event organisers in Washington
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: 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. By late September, the light in Washington goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Serving on plates is often easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
