Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Atherington is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

A christening at Bailiffscourt Chapel followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Atherington is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Prices and what affects them

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
