Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and sports clubs and societies, with hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around West Blatchington, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Common questions in West Blatchington
Can you roast near the sea around West Blatchington?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Hove Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
