Questions from Itchingfield
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicolas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Itchingfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Hog roast hire for your event in Itchingfield
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Itchingfield, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include crackling, salads and new potatoes, and we are often booked for club events and presentations and corporate events.
In a small place like Itchingfield, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china

- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Itchingfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
Getting a price

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why book our hog roast in Itchingfield
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
