Hosting a hog roast party in Sompting
Sompting is about 3 miles east of Worthing, in West Sussex. Sompting is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. We cater all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Sompting to Brighton (about 9 miles away).
For party guests on the train, Lancing station is about 0.8 miles away. A green space like Brooklands Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Party hog roast in Sompting, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Whether it is christenings and big family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Parties around Sompting are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether plates or china are included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How dietary needs are handled
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Sompting until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
