Planning an event in Henfield?
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Wrap parties suit a hog roast too, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. For base catering and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a location shoot near Henfield, base might be in a field or farmyard. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- One contact for the day
- A level area at base
- The location manager’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Henfield
Is Henfield close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you work to set times?
We work to your schedule.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your shoot: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs

- Label the alternatives clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.

Step by step
On the day, 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. In December, daylight in Henfield ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
