Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Ditchling Common
What’s the nearest station to Ditchling Common?
The closest is Burgess Hill station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is Ditchling Common close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How it 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. After-work summer events in Ditchling Common have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
