How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Shripney in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Shripney: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Shripney?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
