Bevendean: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Bevendean?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
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’ll follow the site rules.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest options.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Make the stall easy to find
We serve as the queue moves.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
A hog roast or other catering?
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early, so we can plan. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Bevendean, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
