Hog roast hire for Billingshurst
How our hog roast hire works in Billingshurst
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Billingshurst, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it’s garden parties and barbecues and club events and presentations, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, coleslaw and crackling.
There may be a hall or playing field near Billingshurst if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

Common questions in Billingshurst
Which station is closest to Billingshurst?
Billingshurst station, in Billingshurst itself.
Can you cater after a service at Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Billingshurst, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
