Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

Why Lindfield hosts choose us

- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Lindfield: your questions answered
Could you cook in Eastern Road Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is there an alternative to pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option for those who need them.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We will handle the rest.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Summer evenings in Lindfield stay light until about 9:20pm, so people can spill into the garden.

- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area
- A short route for the equipment
- A friend or relative we can call
