Near Albourne Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Albourne Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Albourne Green?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Albourne Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you have documents for locations?
Send us your requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
