FAQs for Itchingfield
Is Itchingfield close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Itchingfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Itchingfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Itchingfield and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans

Ask about china, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A covered eating area
- Vehicle access to base
- A level spot at base for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
