About our hog roast hire in Rackham
In Rackham, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Whether it’s birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like Rackham, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Common questions in Rackham
Could you cook in Parham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Rackham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in Rackham?
Yes, Rackham is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Planning a hog roast in Rackham
Rackham is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We take a hog roast to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Rackham. Rackham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 17 miles away.
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Peter, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. If you had Parham Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Rackham is within about 2 miles of the South Downs National Park. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
We bring hog roasts to events all over RH20 and the streets around it. For events just outside Rackham, we cover Cross Gate (1 mile west), Amberley (1 mile west), Coldwaltham (2 miles north-west), Bury (2 miles west) and Hardham (3 miles north).

How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset in Rackham is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
