Questions from Cocking Causeway
Is Cocking Causeway too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Cocking Causeway, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
