Slow-roasted pork in Colworth
Hog roast hire in Colworth, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Colworth: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and corporate events, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Somewhere like Colworth, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Colworth
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Bringing a hog roast to Colworth
Colworth is about 2 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Hosts in Colworth book us for events of all sizes. Colworth is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Colworth to Brighton (about 25 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Bartons Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. If you had The Brooks Local Nature Reserve in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. The coast is within about 3 miles of Colworth, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
Anywhere in PO20, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Nearby, we also cater events in Merston (1 mile west), Oving (2 miles north-west), Lagness (2 miles south-west), Runcton (2 miles west) and Shopwyke (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (13 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (8 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles west) and Rustington (9 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Bognor Regis Museum (2.7 miles south-east) and Tote Copse Castle (1.3 miles north-east).
- Nearby schools include The Regis School (1.8 miles south)
FAQs for Colworth
Could you cook in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Colworth close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
