Party hog roast near Rose Hill
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for reunions and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Rose Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Rose Hill: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Rose Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
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.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Coleslaw
- Jacket potatoes
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Rose Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
