Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
East Preston questions
Is East Preston close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can visitors buy their own food?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
