A hog roast near Woodmancote
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Hog roast hire in Woodmancote, carved to order
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Whether it’s wedding breakfasts and evening food and clubhouse events, we can cook salads, crackling and new potatoes and more.
Somewhere like Woodmancote, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for Woodmancote
Can you do a hog roast in Stansted Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you travel across West Sussex?
All of West Sussex is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
For event organisers in Woodmancote
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: in Woodmancote, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them

- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
