FAQs for Prestonville
Can you roast near the sea around Prestonville?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A level patio, lawn or driveway

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Prestonville
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn parties in Prestonville get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- 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 clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
