Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Pickhurst is dark by about 3:55pm.

Pickhurst questions
Is Pickhurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Usually, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RH20 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We serve quickly on the call.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
