DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Little London parties: what to know
Little London is about 4 miles north of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Little London. We cater 371 places in West Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Little London to Brighton (about 16 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Priest House (1.8 miles north-east) and Gravetye Manor (2.5 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. A christening at St Peter's Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Little London, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

- Pubs nearby include The Gardeners Arms (less than half a mile north)
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, it’s light in Little London until about 9:20pm, 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.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
