Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Pulborough station, about 4.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Heath Common close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Is all of West Sussex covered?
We cater across West Sussex, including Heath Common. Ask for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
