Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Whitesmith hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A spot well away from the house
- A level patio, lawn or driveway

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Whitesmith
What’s the nearest station to Whitesmith?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 4.5 miles south of the centre.
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 follow the site rules.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
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. We do not offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, it is light in Whitesmith until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
