Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Seaview: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Seaview?
Smallbrook Junction station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is Seaview close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Why choose a hog roast in Seaview?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Autumn and winter afternoons in Seaview get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you’re at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
