The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
FAQs for Tangmere

Chichester station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you roast near the sea around Tangmere?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will talk it through.

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Balance the food line-up
- Make the stall easy to find
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
