Common questions in Magham Down
Which station is closest to Magham Down?
Polegate station, about 4.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Magham Down too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For event organisers in Magham Down
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A summer party in Magham Down stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
