Your questions about a hog roast for your event in East Wittering
Is East Wittering close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Contact us.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A level pitch with firm ground
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
