About our hog roast hire in Graffham
In Graffham, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater parties at home and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
Somewhere as small as Graffham, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Graffham hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Questions from Graffham
Is Graffham close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come to Graffham?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Graffham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
