Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For an evening party in Crawley Down, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Crawley Down questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Parish Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you come to Crawley Down?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Crawley Down and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Neighbours warned about the smell
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
