Common questions in Tillington
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Tillington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Tillington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Tillington and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What comes off the roaster

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Tillington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests
