Hog roast hire for Watersfield
Watersfield questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to Watersfield?
Yes, Watersfield is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Watersfield until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
