FAQs for Minsted
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Minsted?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the details.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Contact us and we will see what’s possible.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
- Show allergens at the stall
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Details of what the event requires
- A firm way on and off the field
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Minsted are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
How to get a price
