About our hog roast hire in Aldingbourne
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthdays, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Aldingbourne, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in Aldingbourne until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Planning help
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Aldingbourne: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Aldingbourne?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Aldingbourne from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
West Sussex is part of our area. Contact us for a price.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
