Planning a party in Southwick
Southwick is about 2 miles east of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We cover parties in Southwick, as well as the surrounding area. Southwick is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater.
Among the historic houses close to Southwick are Portslade Manor (0.8 miles north-east) and Preston Manor & Gardens (3.7 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Benfield Hill is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Southwick is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Here we cover the BN42, BN41 and BN43 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. That could mean a party in a garden on Station Road, Roman Crescent and Southwick Street, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Southwick sits on or near the A259 and A270, which makes travel to your party easy. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Kingston by Sea (1 mile north-west), Portslade (1 mile north-east), Shoreham-by-Sea (2 miles west), Hangleton (2 miles north-east) and Old Shoreham (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Worthing (7 miles west), Haywards Heath (13 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (10 miles north-east), Littlehampton (13 miles west), Lancing (4 miles west) and Rustington (12 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Southlands Hospital (1 mile west) and Churchill Square (4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Shoreham Beach and Thundersbarrow Hill.
- Local schools include Shoreham Academy (0.5 miles west) and Shoreham College (0.6 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Ship Inn (within half a mile south)

Common questions in Southwick
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.
Could you cook in Benfield Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
