Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
Add chicken as an alternative.

Hambrook questions
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.
Do you come out to small places like Hambrook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Autumn and winter afternoons in Hambrook get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
