Patching questions
Is Patching too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Patching from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
West Sussex is part of our area, including Patching. Get in touch for a price.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

For event organisers in Patching

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
