The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late September, sunset in North Mundham is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- The roast cooks while you are at the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

North Mundham: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like North Mundham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Can you wait?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives.
