Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
We serve on plates, with china as an option.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you cover High Salvington?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

What the cooking area needs

- Vehicle access near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Autumn and winter afternoons in High Salvington get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
