FAQs for Saltdean
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Can you roast near the sea around Saltdean?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Parking close to the house

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Saltdean until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
