DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A heads-up for next door
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw

For guests coming by train, Rye station, about 3 miles south-east, is the nearest station. If the day starts at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. The coast is within about 4 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Flackley Ash
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Flackley Ash?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. For an evening party in Flackley Ash, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
