What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site

- Access to the cooking area

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Sidlesham Common
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Sidlesham Common from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll be ready.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
For event organisers in Sidlesham Common
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day

- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
