A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Shoreham-by-Sea hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Shoreham-by-Sea ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
