How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. For an autumn event in Gun Hill, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A queuing area
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Halloumi skewers (V)

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Gun Hill
Is Gun Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will tell you what we can send.
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 plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
