Questions from East Preston
Which station is closest to East Preston?
Angmering station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is East Preston close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you get to rural locations?
Share the route to base and we will confirm.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
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.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, daylight in East Preston ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
