Lower Horncroft questions
What’s the nearest station to Lower Horncroft?
Pulborough station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Agatha: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
