A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast near the sea around Friston?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
