Should I cook it myself?

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Minsted
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St James?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Minsted, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
