Should I cook it myself?

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Hassocks is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
