About the food
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)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Questions from Wickstreet
Which station is closest to Wickstreet?
The closest is Berwick (Sussex) station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Wickstreet?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- An activities lead or manager as contact

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, the light in Wickstreet goes at about 7:05pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
