Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Hammerpot
How far is Hammerpot from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Hammerpot?
Angmering station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you cater in Hammerpot?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast starts early, and in December Hammerpot is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.

- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask about china.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
