Funtington questions
Which station is closest to Funtington?
Nutbourne station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
