East Worthing: your questions answered
Which station is closest to East Worthing?
East Worthing station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Beach House Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A level outdoor area
- A contact for the day who isn’t immediate family
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
