About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Street End questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Street End?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can you serve a wake?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
What if people arrive late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will adjust.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late September, sunset in Street End is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.

- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
