East Dean: your questions answered
Is East Dean too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
Can you roast in the rain?
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. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about family fun days?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
What comes with the hog roast?
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.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Access through the site gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in East Dean
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
