About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Common questions in Falmer
Can you do a hog roast in Stanmer Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
