How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late September, sunset in Almodington is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

This part of West Sussex takes in PO20, so your wake can be anywhere in it.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Check with family about dietary needs
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A hall or room for eating
- A short route for the equipment
- A safe distance from the hall
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
