DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. 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. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Henfield questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Henfield from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
Do you need power on site?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A queuing area
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A firm way on and off the field
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Henfield lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
