What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Dial Post stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Dial Post questions
Is Dial Post close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Dial Post?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cater in Dial Post?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Dial Post and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
