Rustington questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Rustington close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Planning an evening hog roast in Rustington? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
