Slow-roasted pork in Lodsworth
Hog roast hire for your event in Lodsworth
In Lodsworth, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater staff days and open days and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere as small as Lodsworth, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Bringing a hog roast to Lodsworth
Lodsworth is about 11 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We cater events of every size in Lodsworth. Lodsworth is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Lodsworth to Guildford (about 18 miles away).
If you are gathering after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Peter, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Lodsworth is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
This part of West Sussex takes in GU28, so your event can be anywhere in it.

Where the roaster can go in Lodsworth
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster

- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls

- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Lodsworth, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and 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.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Lodsworth questions
Is Lodsworth close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you travel across West Sussex?

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or GU28 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
