Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Laughton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Laughton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 follow the site rules.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest options.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
