The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, daylight in Ferring ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:

- A level area at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

For event organisers in Ferring
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
