Hog roast hire across West Sussex

Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in West Sussex. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for festive gatherings and milestone birthdays.

We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

  2. We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
  3. We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.

  5. We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast hire across West Sussex

There are 11 towns and 293 villages and hamlets in West Sussex, so whether your event is in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. The South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across West Sussex, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 121 of the places we cover in West Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Crawley: For anyone arriving by rail, Crawley station serves Crawley directly. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Three Bridges Junior School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Crawley stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

The menu, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Spit-roast lamb

With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.

Full catering or machine hire?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast.

What your quote should include

  • The space, cover and access they need
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • The menu, including sides and any extras
  • Whether VAT is included

Before you choose a spot

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
  • Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
  • A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

Looking after everyone

Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them

We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

West Sussex questions

Do we need our own staff?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What’s included?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

Do you bring plates?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

What if it rains?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Do you cook it or do we?

You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
