If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.

Funtington questions
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.
Is Funtington 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.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
