Slow-roasted pork in Cowfold
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Cowfold lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
