Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask close family about dietary needs
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal

Your questions about a hog roast for the wake in World's End
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 will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's Church?
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.
Can you wait?
Name someone we can call and we will serve when everyone is there.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What do we need to organise?
Not much: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn and winter afternoons in World's End get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Before we arrive
