About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Name an organiser to meet us.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.
Old Shoreham: your questions answered
How far is Old Shoreham from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you do a school fair?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In late May, sunset in Old Shoreham is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
