About party hog roast in West Sussex

If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and retirement parties, with apple sauce, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken.

People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it.

  1. You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
  5. Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.

Hosting a hog roast party in West Sussex

Across West Sussex, town gardens tend to be smaller and village lanes narrower. Tell us which applies to you. Parts of West Sussex are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 121 of the places we cover in West Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Crawley: Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. If guests are coming by rail, Crawley station serves Crawley directly. Autumn parties in Crawley get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.

Planning for dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

  • Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
  • Let us know roughly how many children
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Prices and what affects them

We work out each quote from:

  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • Site access
  • Numbers
  • Crockery choices

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Details that help

To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:

  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • Your date and serving time
  • A photo of the cooking area
  • Allergies we should know about

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The smell and the carving make it part of the party.
