We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

- Your trader requirements
- Permission for cooking on the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Brighton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Brighton?
Brighton has its own station: London Road (Brighton) station.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
