How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Hog roast hire in Minsted, carved to order
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Minsted, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re often booked for weddings, day or evening and clubhouse events.
In a rural place like Minsted, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
DIY versus a catered hog roast

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Your questions about a hog roast in Minsted
How far is Minsted from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St James: 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.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater in Minsted?
Yes, Minsted is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is all of West Sussex covered?
We cater across West Sussex, including Minsted. Contact us for a price.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Evenings in Minsted stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
