Slow-roasted pork in Cowfold
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Cowfold need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Cowfold
Do you come out to small places like Cowfold?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Cowfold close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
