Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book our hog roast in Marehill
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Looking after everyone
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Marehill
Is Marehill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
At base, on level ground. We will agree it with your location manager.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What affects the price in Marehill
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
