Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
Common questions in Minsted
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Minsted?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will be ready.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

What affects the price in Minsted
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. On a winter shoot near Minsted, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
