Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Common questions in Albourne Green
Do you come out to small places like Albourne Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Albourne Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Albourne Green and the rest of West Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
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.
For event organisers in Albourne Green
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special at a traditional fête. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Albourne Green hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What the cooking area needs

- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
