Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

What happens on the day
On the day, 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, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, it is light in Rye until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
