- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Common questions in Hill Brow
Do you come out to small places like Hill Brow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
What affects the price in Hill Brow
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Hill Brow
