What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Kingston near Lewes questions
Can you come to a school fair in Kingston near Lewes?

Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A level pitch
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
