Abingworth: your questions answered
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.
Is Abingworth 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 be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about crew who don’t eat pork?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For crew who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
