Common questions in Mount Pleasant
We are gathering after a service at St Bartholomews: can you cater?
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.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
For event organisers in Mount Pleasant
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

- A wet-weather plan for guests

- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Mount Pleasant is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
