Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Hosting a hog roast party in Hammerpot

We cover 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 16 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Hammerpot are Ecclesden Manor (1.1 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. For party guests on the train, Angmering station, about 1.7 miles south, is the nearest station. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Hammerpot, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What affects the price in Hammerpot
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Hammerpot and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Big family get-togethers

Common questions in Hammerpot
What’s the nearest station to Hammerpot?
The closest is Angmering station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is Hammerpot close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening parties in Hammerpot need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
