Slow-roasted pork in Crawley
Hog roast hire for your event in Crawley
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and weddings, day or evening.
Somewhere as small as Crawley, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Events we cater in Crawley
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
People around Crawley book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- Club events and presentations
- Work summer parties
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
Nearby historic houses include Minster Lovell Hall (1.1 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who carves and who serves
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- Allergen information for every dish
- Travel and any London charges
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Where the roaster can go in Crawley
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Crawley, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
