Hog roast hire for your event in Sullington
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. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater parties at home and weddings, day or evening.
Somewhere like Sullington, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Sullington, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

What else we do in Sullington
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Why choose hog roast hire in Sullington?
A roll needs no knife and fork, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
We are regularly asked to cater all sorts of events around Sullington, such as:
- Christmas parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Club events and presentations
If you are gathering after a service at a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, if it applies
- Travel and any London charges
- Staffing on the day
- What crockery is supplied
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- An itemised quote

Where the roaster can go in Sullington
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
