What happens on the day

About our party hog roast in Rotherbridge
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. We are frequently asked to cater neighbourhood parties and family reunions, with coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Rotherbridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Rotherbridge: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Rotherbridge?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
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.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
