Common questions in Wivelsfield Green
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.

About 37 miles from central London.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need much space at base?
Not much: a level area at base, agreed with locations.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
