With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Your party could be at a house on St Martin's Square, Market Road and Old Market Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Chichester sits on or near the A27 and A259, which makes travel to your party easy.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Autumn parties in Chichester get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Common questions in Chichester
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Chichester close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you cover Chichester?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Chichester and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
