Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For event organisers in Lordington
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it’s dark in Lordington by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day

- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Common questions in Lordington
Is Lordington close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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 serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
What happens if it is dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
