Why choose a hog roast in Whitehawk?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-May events in Whitehawk have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
How to get a price

What affects the price in Whitehawk
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Balance the food line-up
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Add coleslaw.
Common questions in Whitehawk
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Whitehawk Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do charity events?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
