About our hog roast hire in Busbridge
In Busbridge, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Whether it is milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes for your guests.
For a rural spot like Busbridge, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Light matters for a long roast: around Busbridge, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast in Busbridge
We are gathering after a service at St John the Baptist Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Phillips Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

Yes, Busbridge is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
