Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- Site access
- Menu choices and extras

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Common questions in Albourne Street
Which station is closest to Albourne Street?
Hassocks station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Is Albourne Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In late May, sunset in Albourne Street is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
