Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, daylight in Cocking Causeway ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
Send us the date, the address or GU29 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Cocking Causeway
Is Cocking Causeway too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
