Slow-roasted pork in Lindfield
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Hog roast hire in Lindfield, carved to order
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Lindfield. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. For sports clubs and societies and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.
A place like Lindfield frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. 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, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Lindfield hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Lindfield, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
