Questions from Crosspost
Which station is closest to Crosspost?
Wivelsfield station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
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 will follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
