Planning an event in Flackwell Heath?
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Hog roast hire in Flackwell Heath, slow-roasted on site
In Flackwell Heath, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. We are often asked to cater milestone birthdays and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
A place like Flackwell Heath frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What else we do in Flackwell Heath
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Flackwell Heath hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Flackwell Heath until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
