Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Stone Cross
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers

- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
