- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
We clear our spot after lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Vehicle access to base
- Shelter for crew
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
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, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Pevensey ends around 3:55pm.
