Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Why choose a hog roast in Firle?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
