Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Wivelsfield need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- 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 tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Wivelsfield: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Ote Hall Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Wivelsfield from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Why choose party hog roast in Wivelsfield?
You get to enjoy your own party.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Salads
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
