Hog roast for events for Southwick
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Hog roast for events in Southwick, slow-roasted on site
For organisers, one reliable hot-food trader makes life easier. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. Whether it’s club events and PTA summer fairs, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Around Southwick, a fête or summer fair suits a hog roast. Send us the pitch and access details. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Southwick is about 2 miles east of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. A hog roast suits events around Southwick, whatever the venue. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages.
An event in Benfield Hill means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, typically the council. School fairs, for a school like Eastbrook Primary Academy, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Within about 8 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements. The coast is within about 2 miles of Southwick, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
Anywhere in BN42, BN41 and BN43, we can roast on site for your visitors. Streets in the area include Station Road, Roman Crescent and Southwick Street, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Southwick questions
What’s the nearest station to Southwick?
Southwick has its own station: Southwick station.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, events in Southwick stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
