Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote

Hog roast hire in Sidlesham Common, slow-roasted on site
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. For work summer parties and village fêtes and school fairs, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a rural spot like Sidlesham Common, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
