Hog roast hire in South Street
How our hog roast hire works in South Street
In South Street, 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 Fêtes, fairs and shows and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling and more.
In a rural place like South Street, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evenings in South Street stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

South Street questions
What’s the nearest station to South Street?
The closest is Plumpton station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is South Street close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Parking near the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
