Midhurst 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 will follow the site rules.
How far is Midhurst from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Is lighting needed?
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.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

A winter fair at a school like Midhurst CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Step by step

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
