Why choose a hog roast in Amberley?
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

Questions from Amberley
Can you do a hog roast in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
