What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Ask about china.

Questions from The Haven
Is The Haven too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to The Haven?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Can you get to rural locations?
Send the location and access notes and we will plan the journey.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
