South Bersted parties: what to know
South Bersted is about 1 mile north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. South Bersted is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. South Bersted is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 24 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Thinking of a hog roast in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. The coast is within about a mile, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO21, PO22 and BN14, so your party can be anywhere in it. We can cater a party on streets such as Ivy Lane, Hook Lane and Essex Road, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Bognor Regis (1 mile south-west), Felpham (1 mile east), Shripney (1 mile north), Aldwick (2 miles south-west) and Flansham (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (12 miles east), Chichester (6 miles north-west), Selsey (6 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles east), Emsworth (12 miles west) and Rustington (7 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (less than half a mile south) and Bognor Regis Museum (0.8 miles south).
- Local schools include The Regis School (0.7 miles west) and The Regis School (0.7 miles west)
- Nearby, you will find The William Hardwicke pub (0.7 miles south)
What else we do in South Bersted

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening parties in South Bersted need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- 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.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
