The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Ferring is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Signpost the stall clearly
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Ferring
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
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 will follow the site rules.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Can you come to our fête?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
