Hog roast hire in Hardham
Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. In Hardham, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early

How our hog roast hire works in Hardham
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it’s summer garden parties and wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Hardham, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
