How our hog roast hire works in Tangmere
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For wakes and sports clubs and societies, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and crackling for your guests.
For a place the size of Tangmere, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

What else we do in Tangmere
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Tangmere, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
