What’s near Ferring
Locally, our bookings take us close to Chatsmore Catholic High School, St Andrew's Church and Ferring CofE Primary School and the streets around them. Ferring’s nearest station is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Rustington Museum (2.4 miles west) and Old Castle (2.6 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Highdown Hill.
Planning a hog roast in BN12
Across BN12, we cover 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Worthing, Durrington and East Preston to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Around 6 places in BN12 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Ferring: If you had Durrington Minature Railway in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Within reach of Ferring are historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (1.6 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Light matters for a long roast: around Ferring, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value.
Questions to ask before booking
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- If the price includes VAT
- Allergen information for every dish
- What crockery is supplied
Occasions we serve in BN12
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Whatever the occasion in BN12, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re frequently asked to cater:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Corporate events
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Your questions about a hog roast in BN12
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
