Questions from Lower Horncroft
Do you come out to small places like Lower Horncroft?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Horncroft?
Pulborough station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Can you cater in Lower Horncroft?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Before booking anyone
- A clear list of what’s included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- How many staff will carve and serve
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Light matters for a long roast: around Lower Horncroft, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
