Hog roast hire for your event in Hurstpierpoint
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve new potatoes, crackling and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for summer garden parties and sports clubs and societies.
For a place the size of Hurstpierpoint, your own garden is frequently the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Hurstpierpoint until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
