Hog roast for events in Pyecombe, carved to order
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for PTA summer fairs and charity fundraisers.
At a field event near Pyecombe, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.

Common questions in Pyecombe
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Pyecombe?
Hassocks station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
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.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
