Planning for dietary needs

- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Access for our equipment, without steps

FAQs for Westham
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Which station is closest to Westham?
Pevensey & Westham station, in Westham itself.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
