Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Soberton Heath, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

Your questions about a hog roast in Soberton Heath
Do you come out to small places like Soberton Heath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A photo helps us check.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
