Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Your questions about a hog roast in West Itchenor
Which station is closest to West Itchenor?
Bosham station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Nicholas' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
West Sussex is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around West Itchenor, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
