How our hog roast hire works in Almodington
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Almodington, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads, and we are often booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and staff days and open days.
In a hamlet or village like Almodington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Almodington
What’s the nearest station to Almodington?
Chichester station, about 4.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Almodington close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Almodington, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
