Steep Marsh: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Steep Marsh too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about family fun days?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we’ll cater for all.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Steep Marsh, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
