About our party hog roast in High Cross
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We are frequently asked to cater reunions and close and cul-de-sac parties, with a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like High Cross, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

High Cross: your questions answered
Which station is closest to High Cross?
Hassocks station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
For event organisers in High Cross
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
A hog roast compared with other options

- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
