How our hog roast hire works in Eastergate
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas parties and clubhouse events, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In a small place like Eastergate, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Eastergate: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at St George's Church?
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.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
All of West Sussex is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
