Hog roast hire in West Wittering, slow-roasted on site
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 sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and milestone birthdays, with coleslaw, salads and spit-roast lamb.
For a rural spot like West Wittering, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Light matters for a long roast: around West Wittering, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
