DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

FAQs for Tile Hurst
Do you trade at school fairs around Tile Hurst?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
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.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. For an autumn event in Tile Hurst, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
