Planners, venues and businesses

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Hog roast for events near Steyning
Agricultural shows and country events near Steyning are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater fun runs and sports events and summer fêtes.
Summer fairs around Steyning are often run by volunteers, so a self-contained hog roast helps. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-May events in Steyning have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Signpost the stall clearly
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
