What else we do in Yapton
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Yapton questions
How far is Yapton from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Yapton?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you cover Yapton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Yapton and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we’ll talk it through.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special. 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.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
When we arrive, 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. In December, Yapton is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
