Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Barcombe
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Barcombe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power on site?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space for people to queue
- Your trader requirements
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
