FAQs for Longmoor
Is Longmoor too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Longmoor, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
