Slow-roasted pork in Hassocks
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For an evening party in Hassocks, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
