Planning an event in Lyminster?
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How our funeral wake catering works in Lyminster
For a celebration of life, a hog roast can reflect the person being remembered. Tell us what matters to you and we’ll do our best. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for scattering-of-ashes gatherings and family meals after a funeral.
For a wake near Lyminster, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the roaster in the yard or garden. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Lyminster questions
Is Lyminster close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cater in Lyminster?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Lyminster and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cater in village halls?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A safe distance from the hall
- A short route for the equipment
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What comes off the roaster
