Party hog roast near Rusper
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We serve crackling, coleslaw and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for garden parties and family reunions.
Near Rusper, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A word with the neighbours
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Sunset in Rusper is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
