FAQs for Hangleton
What’s the nearest station to Hangleton?
Goring-By-Sea station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Could you cook in Clapham Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In late May, sunset in Hangleton is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
