Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Pickhurst
What’s the nearest station to Pickhurst?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Pickhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.

For event organisers in Pickhurst
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Pickhurst, think about light: 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.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
