How our hog roast hire works in Marehill
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. On the menu are coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and village fêtes and school fairs.
Somewhere like Marehill, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Planning an evening hog roast in Marehill? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Put the menu on the invitation
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Common questions in Marehill
Is Marehill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Wiggonholt Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover Marehill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Marehill and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
- Fresh carving at the serving station
