Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Your questions about a hog roast in Staplefield

Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Do you cover Staplefield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Staplefield and the rest of West Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Staplefield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
