A hog roast in Washington: local details
Washington is about 6 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. From village halls to gardens and fields, events around Washington suit a hog roast. We bring hog roasts to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 13 miles away.
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Mary rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by generally does. For a fundraiser at a school like St Mary's CofE Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Washington, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
Wherever your event is in RH20, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include London Road, The Street and Chanctonbury Close; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For events just outside Washington, we cover Rock (1 mile north), Sullington (1 mile west), Heath Common (2 miles north-west), Storrington (2 miles north-west) and Warminghurst (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Horsham (12 miles north), Worthing (6 miles south), Bognor Regis (15 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (15 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (13 miles east) and Littlehampton (8 miles south-west).
Nearby you’ll also find The Storrington And District Museum (2 miles north-west). The countryside around Washington includes Chanctonbury Hill.
- Nearby schools include Windlesham House School (1.2 miles south-west) and Rydon Community College (1.8 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Frankland Arms Public House (under half a mile south-east)
Hog roast hire in Washington, carved to order
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Washington. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Whether it’s wakes and community events, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw and more.
In a rural place like Washington, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Washington, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See our prices page or the cost guide.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Travel to Washington

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
