It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. We’re often asked to cater december open days and christmas family parties, with apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling.

Common questions in Hangleton
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 follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Benfield Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
