DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Questions from Lower Dicker
Can you cater after a service at Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Lower Dicker?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 3.9 miles south-west of the centre.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

A hog roast compared with other options

Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Lower Dicker, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
