What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Around midsummer it stays light in Pagham 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 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Hog roast hire for your event in Pagham
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Pagham, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it is garden parties and barbecues and weddings and receptions, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling for your guests.
Somewhere like Pagham, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Pagham questions
Which station is closest to Pagham?
Bognor Regis station, about 3.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Pagham close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Where the roaster can go in Pagham
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
