Common questions in Sun Rising
Is Sun Rising too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cater in Sun Rising?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How does hog roast hire work?
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.
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.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Sun Rising, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved 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 availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:

- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
