Hog roast hire for Wick
Hog roast hire in Wick, slow-roasted on site
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and community events.
For a place the size of Wick, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
What happens on the day
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. Around midsummer it stays light in Wick until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Bringing a hog roast to Wick
Wick is about 1 mile north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Thinking about a hog roast in Wick? We cover the whole area. Wick is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Wick to Brighton (18 miles away).
After a service at All Saints, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. A green space like Mewsbrook Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Wick is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers. The coast is within about 2 miles of Wick, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
This part of West Sussex takes in BN17, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Joyce Close, Willow Brook and Wheatcroft; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Being close to the B2284, Wick is easy for us to reach for your event. Other places close to Wick we cover include Lyminster (1 mile north), Toddington (1 mile east), Littlehampton (1 mile south-east), Climping (1 mile south-west) and Ford (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Worthing (7 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles west), Chichester (10 miles west), Selsey (12 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (12 miles east) and Lancing (10 miles east).
A little further out are Zachary Merton Hospital (2.3 miles south-east) and Rustington Museum (2.1 miles south-east). Open spaces near Wick include Highdown Hill and WWT Arundel.
- Nearby schools include The Littlehampton Academy (0.8 miles south-east) and Littlehampton College (0.8 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include Locomotive Public House (less than half a mile north-east)
Wick questions
Can you cater after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
