Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs

Lancing: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Brooklands Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is there a non-pork option?
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 don’t offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By late September, sunset in Lancing is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
