Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

For guests travelling by train, Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east, is the nearest station.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Common questions in Colworth
Can you do a hog roast in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Colworth?
Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
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.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator

- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
