What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Sidlesham need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Sidlesham questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Sidlesham from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
A hog roast or other catering?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
