Hog roast hire for Littlehampton
How our hog roast hire works in Littlehampton
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and christmas parties, with coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb.
A town like Littlehampton gives you plenty of options: a garden, a club, a hall or a venue. We will check the cooking spot with you before the day. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Light matters for a long roast: in Littlehampton, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, 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.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Littlehampton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which generally keeps the cost down. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
