FAQs for High Salvington
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
China crockery is available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Sunset in High Salvington in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
