Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Show allergens at the stall
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Where the roaster can go in Hollingbury

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Hollingbury
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?

Is Hollingbury close to London?

How far ahead should we book?

How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.

Should I cook it myself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
