Questions from Hailsham
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.
Is Hailsham close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Give us a contact on the day.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
