Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Upper Horsebridge
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Upper Horsebridge close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
