Hog roast hire in Portslade, carved to order
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Portslade, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and gatherings after a funeral.
In a smaller place like Portslade, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Portslade questions
Can you roast near the sea around Portslade?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Benfield Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you come to Portslade?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Portslade and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Portslade. Light matters for a long roast: around Portslade, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
