Common questions in Lickfold
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater in Lickfold?
Yes, Lickfold is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
