Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. A summer party in East Marden stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Common questions in East Marden
Do you come out to small places like East Marden?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you come to East Marden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including East Marden and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
