Party hog roast in Castle Town, slow-roasted on site
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We’re often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and getting-engaged parties, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and crackling.
In a small place like Castle Town, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Castle Town: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Castle Town?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A heads-up for next door
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
