DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Warminghurst
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Sepulchre: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Warminghurst?
Pulborough station, about 4.7 miles west of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Warminghurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
