Book a hog roast in Rogate
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Liss station, about 3.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Rogate too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What about guests who don’t 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 do not offer halal meat.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Rogate 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.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
