About the food

Hog roast hire in Steyning, carved to order
In Steyning, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
In a smaller place like Steyning, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. 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.

FAQs for Steyning
Can you roast near the sea around Steyning?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Steyning?
The closest is Lancing station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
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 cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Steyning, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

What affects the price in Steyning
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
