Hog roast hire in Bosham, carved to order
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We are often asked to cater staff days and open days and weddings, day or evening, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and salads.
In a rural place like Bosham, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planning a hog roast in Bosham
Bosham is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We’re happy to travel to Bosham for events and the places nearby. Bosham is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Bosham to Southampton (about 24 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Bosham Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (4.9 miles west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one.
Here we cover the PO18 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. From High Street, Viking Way and Merryweather Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. We also bring hog roasts to events in Broadbridge (1 mile north-east), Chidham (1 mile west), Bosham Hoe (1 mile south), Nutbourne (2 miles north-west) and Fishbourne (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (8 miles east), Chichester (3 miles east), Selsey (7 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (4 miles west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
A little further out are Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Bosham
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Bosham
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why Bosham hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Access for our equipment, without steps

- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Bosham questions
Can you cater after a service at The United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Bosham close to London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Bosham 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’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
