FAQs for Sidlesham
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
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 clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.

Is a hog roast right for your event?

A hog roast in Sidlesham: local details
Sidlesham is about 3 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. We cater events across Sidlesham and nearby. Sidlesham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Sidlesham to Southampton (about 28 miles away).
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Chichester station, about 3.9 miles north. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Sidlesham is within about 4 miles of the sea, and sea breezes can be strong. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
Anywhere in PO20, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Rookery Lane, Selsey Road and Manhood Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. With the B2145 close by, Sidlesham is simple for us to get to for your event. We also bring hog roasts to events in Keynor Estate (1 mile south-west), Street End (1 mile north), Sidlesham Common (1 mile north), Fisher (2 miles north-east) and Church Norton (2 miles south).

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Sidlesham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking near the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
