Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Rustington
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Do you provide china?

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Rustington is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare

- Think about shelter for your guests
