About our hog roast hire in Codmore Hill
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and weddings, day or evening, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Somewhere as small as Codmore Hill, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

A hog roast in Codmore Hill: local details
Codmore Hill is about 10 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Thinking about a hog roast in Codmore Hill? We cover the whole area. Codmore Hill is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 19 miles away.
After a service at The Parish Church of St Mary, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Historic houses near Codmore Hill include Old Place Manor (1 mile south-west) and Parham House (3.7 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Codmore Hill is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
For events in RH20, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Masons Way, Hill Farm Lane and Stane Street or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to events in Broomershill (1 mile south-east), North Heath (1 mile north-east), Nutbourne (1 mile south-east), Marehill (1 mile south-east) and Gay Street (2 miles east).

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
