About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September shoots near Isfield lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive

Isfield: your questions answered
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Isfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
