A hog roast near Funtington
Hog roast hire in Funtington, slow-roasted on site
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For christmas fairs and wakes and memorial gatherings, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
In a rural place like Funtington, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- 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
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Your questions about a hog roast in Funtington
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Funtington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Where the roaster can go in Funtington
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Parking near the spot
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
