At midsummer, it is light in Tortington until about 9:20pm, 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.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Tortington
Is Tortington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
