About our party hog roast in Walberton
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are jacket potatoes, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for anniversary parties and engagement celebrations.
In a small place like Walberton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. At midsummer, it is light in Walberton 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.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
