Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Heyshott questions
Is Heyshott too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
