How our hog roast hire works in Nuthurst
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and crackling, and we are frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and wakes.
Somewhere as small as Nuthurst, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Planning the cooking spot

- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Nuthurst: venues, access and local tips
Nuthurst is about 3 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. We cater events at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Nuthurst and the surrounding area. Nuthurst is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 15 miles away.
If you had Leonardslee in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby.
Anywhere in RH13, we can roast on site for your guests. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Maplehurst (1 mile south), Southwater (2 miles west), Tower Hill (3 miles north-west), Horsham (3 miles north) and Brooks Green (4 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Crawley (8 miles north-east), Worthing (14 miles south), Haywards Heath (9 miles east), Burgess Hill (9 miles south-east), East Grinstead (15 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Christs Hospital School Museum (3.1 miles north-west) and Horsham Hospital (3.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Knepp Wildland.
Your questions about a hog roast in Nuthurst
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Leonardslee?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is all of West Sussex covered?
All of West Sussex is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Why choose hog roast hire in Nuthurst?

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Nuthurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, 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
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
