About our hog roast hire in West Barnham
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s summer garden parties and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a rural place like West Barnham, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.

What else we do in West Barnham
What comes off the roaster

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

For event organisers in West Barnham
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
