Event catering in Chichester, cooked on site
We are event caterers who cook on site. For events in Chichester, we cook a hog roast, a barbecue or both on site, and our team serves and tidies up. Typical bookings include staff days and client events and school fairs and sports days, serving beef burgers, hog roast rolls with crackling and salads.
Plenty of events in Chichester happen at home, in the garden or on the drive, where a hog roast or barbecue saves anyone cooking. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
When everyone has eaten, our staff tidy up, so there is very little left to do.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
The process
We set up under cover where we agreed, well before food time. A hog roast cooks for hours before serving; a barbecue cooks through service, so we plan our arrival around your serving time. In December, sunset in Chichester is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting and somewhere warm to eat.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Next to a sit-down dinner, hog roast and barbecue food keeps things informal, though plates and sides make it a proper meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
