What else we do in Cowfold
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Cowfold hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-May events in Cowfold have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
