Hog roast hire in Cocking Causeway
Cocking Causeway: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How our hog roast hire works in Cocking Causeway
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Cocking Causeway, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are often asked to cater community events and garden parties and barbecues, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a rural place like Cocking Causeway, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

For event organisers in Cocking Causeway
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Permission from the venue or landowner

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve
