Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

How far is East Lavington from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
Will you clear up afterwards?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
