Petworth: your questions answered
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Petworth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Petworth, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your visitors
