For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the invite
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening parties in Funtington need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Funtington: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Funtington?
The closest is Nutbourne station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why choose a hog roast in Funtington?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
