Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an evening party in South Malling, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Common questions in South Malling
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Railway Land?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

Yes, South Malling is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
