Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Autumn and winter afternoons in Bognor Regis get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
