Portslade: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Portslade?
Fishersgate station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning a party in Portslade
Portslade is about 1 mile west of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. We cater parties at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Portslade and the surrounding area. Portslade is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
After a christening at a church like St Nicolas Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Thinking of a hog roast in Benfield Hill? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Portslade is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
Here we cover the BN41, BN3 and BN42 postcode area, so your party can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Mill Lane, Crown Road and Drove Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

The process

- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
