About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why choose a hog roast in Scaynes Hill?
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef

What happens on the day

- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
