Fulking questions
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Fulking?
Portslade station, about 3.9 miles south of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll talk it through.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Step by step
