Wickstreet: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Wickstreet from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Send the location and access notes and we will confirm.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Wickstreet
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Anything the venue has asked for

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Wickstreet ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
