Hog roast hire in Falmer
How our hog roast hire works in Falmer
In Falmer, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and weddings and receptions, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Falmer, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
