Slow-roasted pork in Hamsey
How our corporate hog roast works in Hamsey
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Whether it’s family fun days and project wrap-ups, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For farms and rural sites near Hamsey, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Open days in Hamsey usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning help
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Hamsey questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hamsey too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
For event organisers in Hamsey
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
