About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
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. In late September, sunset in Isfield is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Contact us when the date is set.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
