What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, events in Durrington stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Durrington questions
Can you come to a school fair in Durrington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you cover Durrington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Durrington and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
