Salvington questions
Is Salvington close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Salvington?
The closest is West Worthing station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Often, yes. Contact us when the date is set and we will tell you quickly.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How we price a hog roast for the wake
The biggest factors are:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or BN13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

- A level spot outdoors for the roaster

- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
