Hog roast hire in Arundel, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater work summer parties and club events and presentations, with salads, hog roast rolls and crackling.
In a smaller place like Arundel, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Questions from Arundel
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Arundel Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in Arundel?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Arundel and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
All of West Sussex is in our area. Tell us the venue for a quote.

Thinking of a hog roast in Arundel Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Among the historic houses close to Arundel are Ecclesden Manor (4.3 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Arundel is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers. Arundel is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
Anywhere in BN18, we can roast on site for your guests. Streets in the area include London Road, High Street and Arundel Relief Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order

How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Light matters for a long roast: in Arundel, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
