Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Racton
Can you do a hog roast in Stansted Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Racton?
The closest is Southbourne station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is electricity needed?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Racton events: pitches and permissions
Racton is about 3 miles north-east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. We cater events across Racton and nearby. Racton is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Racton to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
If your event is in Stansted Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. School fairs, for a school like Bourne Community College, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Events in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Racton, frequently have rules about cooking, vehicles and waste; we work to the site rules.
For events in PO18 and PO10, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. If your venue is just outside Racton, we also cover Lordington (1 mile north), Walderton (1 mile north-east), Funtington (1 mile east), Hambrook (2 miles south) and West Ashling (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles south-east), Selsey (11 miles south-east), Emsworth (3 miles south-west), Portfield (6 miles south-east) and Yapton (13 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Emsworth Museum (2.8 miles south-west) and Havant War Memorial Hospital (4.4 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Walderton Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.

Questions to ask before you book
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Chicken widens the choice.
Where the roaster can go in Racton
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- A safe distance from other traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
