Questions from Hove
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you trade at school fairs around Hove?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-May events in Hove have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
