Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Party hog roast in Cuckfield, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. For summer parties in the garden and close and cul-de-sac parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A heads-up for next door
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
