A hog roast or other catering?

Why us?

  • Timed around your day
  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests
  • All the equipment comes with us

DIY versus a catered hog roast

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Somerley parties: what to know

Somerley is about 4 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex. We cover parties in Somerley. We bring hog roasts to 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 26 miles away.

If the day starts at St James' Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.

We bring hog roasts to parties all over PO20. That could mean a party in a garden on Bell Lane and Hundredsteddle Lane or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater parties in Almodington (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile north-east), Shipton Green (1 mile north-west), Earnley (1 mile south) and East Wittering (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (4 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (6 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).

What happens on the day

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Somerley stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We set up hours ahead.
  4. We carve and serve at food time.
  5. We tidy up and pack away.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Gather dietary requirements early

About the food

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Somerley

Which station is closest to Somerley?

Fishbourne station, about 4 miles north of the centre.

Can you cater after a service at St James' Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Is there a non-pork option?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.

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 bring everything else.

Will a hog roast fit in our garden?

Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.

What about kids?

Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.

Can we cook it ourselves?

If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

  • Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
  • Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
