How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an evening party in Shermanbury, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Before we arrive

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Shermanbury questions
Is Shermanbury too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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 will follow the site rules.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cover Shermanbury?
Yes, Shermanbury is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Rotisserie chicken

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
