Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Iford
We are gathering after a service at St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes): 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.
What’s the nearest station to Iford?
Lewes station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Iford, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
