Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Sidlesham
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you trade at school fairs around Sidlesham?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
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 you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Sidlesham hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Read our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Halal is not offered
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Sidlesham is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
