Common questions in West Dean
Do you cater at venues 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.
How far is West Dean from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we will plan for everyone.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
