Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Lickfold
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 Lickfold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you cover Lickfold?
Yes, Lickfold is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Occasions we serve in Lickfold
