About our hog roast hire in Lyminster
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. On the menu are coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for parties at home and birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere as small as Lyminster, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Lyminster questions
Is Lyminster too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
West Sussex is part of our area. Contact us for a price.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which usually keeps the cost down. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Around midsummer it stays light in Lyminster until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
