Southwick questions
Can you roast near the sea around Southwick?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?

Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

How soon do you get booked up?
