Hog roast hire in Fishbourne, carved to order
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and work summer parties, serving hog roast rolls, salads and spit-roast lamb.
A place like Fishbourne frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

For event organisers in Fishbourne
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Fishbourne stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: 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 nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
