DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evenings in Down Street stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Down Street questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Andrew and St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Down Street from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
East Sussex is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
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.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
