Firle: your questions answered
Is Firle too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Firle, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests

Is a hog roast right for your party?

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
