How our party hog roast works in Fishbourne
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. We serve coleslaw, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for family reunions and garden parties.
Around Fishbourne, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Fishbourne
Is Fishbourne close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Fishbourne is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
