Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.

Tile Hurst questions
Is Tile Hurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will follow the site rules.
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.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not offer halal meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
We clear our spot after lunch.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
