Party hog roast in Rustington
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. A summer party in Rustington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

How our party hog roast works in Rustington
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it’s naming ceremonies and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In a place like Rustington, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

Parties in Rustington: homes, halls and local tips
Rustington is about 5 miles west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Planning a hog roast for your party in Rustington? We cover the whole area. Rustington is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Rustington to Brighton (about 17 miles away).
A green space like Mewsbrook Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s. A christening at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Rustington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
Wherever your party is in BN16 and BN17, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater a party on streets such as Church Road, The Street and Station Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Rustington is on the B2140, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. For parties just outside Rustington, we cover Littlehampton (1 mile west), Toddington (1 mile north-west), Poling (2 miles north), Wick (2 miles west) and Lyminster (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Worthing (5 miles east), Bognor Regis (8 miles west), Chichester (12 miles west), Selsey (13 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (11 miles east) and Lancing (8 miles east).

Rustington questions
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Rustington?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
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 plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
