Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.

How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Serving and clearing done for you

Planning a shoot in Colworth
Colworth is about 2 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Thinking about a hog roast for the crew in Colworth? We cover the whole area. We cater 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Colworth to Brighton (25 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Colworth are Goodwood House (4 miles north-west). Period locations like these normally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. Central London is about 54 miles from Colworth, within easy reach for London-based crews. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
We cover shoots in every part of PO20 and the streets around it. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Merston (1 mile west), Oving (2 miles north-west), Lagness (2 miles south-west), Runcton (2 miles west) and Shopwyke (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (13 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (8 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles west) and Rustington (9 miles east).
A little further out are Bognor Regis Museum (2.7 miles south-east) and Tote Copse Castle (1.3 miles north-east).
- Nearby schools include The Regis School (1.8 miles south)
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September shoots near Colworth lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast for the crew
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
