FAQs for Whitehall
What’s the nearest station to Whitehall?
Billingshurst station, about 3.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Whitehall too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Planning for dietary needs
Some residents won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Chicken can be added.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Away from emergency routes
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- Approval from the home

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What affects the price in Whitehall
The price comes down to:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In summer, Whitehall has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
