Hog roast hire for Ferring
Hog roast hire in Ferring, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. For Fêtes, fairs and shows and wakes and memorial gatherings, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In and around Ferring, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Ferring
How far is Ferring from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Durrington Minature Railway?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
For event organisers in Ferring
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Hog roast hire around Ferring
Ferring is about 2 miles south-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Ferring is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We bring hog roasts to 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 14 miles away.
A green space like Durrington Minature Railway is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east of the centre. Ferring is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access. The coast is within about 4 miles of Ferring, and sea breezes can be strong. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
This part of West Sussex takes in BN12. Local streets include Pebble Lane, Ferringham Lane and Grange Park; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to events in Kingston Gorse (1 mile south-west), Hangleton (1 mile north-west), West Kingston (1 mile west), Goring-by-Sea (1 mile east) and Angmering-on-Sea (1 mile west).

Nearby you will also find Rustington Museum (2.4 miles west) and Old Castle (2.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Highdown Hill.
- Nearby schools include Chatsmore Catholic High School (0.8 miles north-east)
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Ferring, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
