What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
How our hog roast hire works in Northiam
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Whether it’s community events and work summer parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Northiam, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Light matters for a long roast: in Northiam, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Northiam
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our prices page and the cost guide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For event organisers in Northiam
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Where the roaster can go in Northiam

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
