What else we do in West Lavington
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in West Lavington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Planning help
West Lavington: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is West Lavington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
Can you cater in West Lavington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including West Lavington and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in West Lavington
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the roaster

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
What affects the price in West Lavington
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Travel to West Lavington
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Balance the food line-up
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
