About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
FAQs for Sompting
Can you do a hog roast in Brooklands Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you come to Sompting?
Yes, Sompting is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
