How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Rackham are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

How our hog roast for events works in Rackham
Agricultural shows and country events near Rackham are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. Typical bookings include vintage rallies and small festivals, with rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers.
A fête near Rackham might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Rackham
Which station is closest to Rackham?
The closest is Amberley station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is Rackham close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
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 if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Get in touch.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
Give us a contact on the day, especially for big events.
Add coleslaw.
