Party hog roast in Billingshurst

Billingshurst questions

Can you cater after a service at Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Is Billingshurst close to London?

Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What do you need from us on the day?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Do you need power or water?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Do you serve the food?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

Will you clear up afterwards?

Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.

What do people get?

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

How we price a hog roast for your party

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • Crockery choices
  • How many people are eating
  • Menu choices and extras

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Getting an accurate quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
  • Rough numbers
  • The address or postcode

Every party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

  • Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
  • Neighbours warned about the smell
  • Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change.

  2. We confirm it works and send a quote.
  3. We cook for hours on site.
  4. Our staff serve rolls and sides.

Full catering or machine hire?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:

  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
  • Let us know roughly how many children

We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
  • Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
