About hog roast hire in BN18
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are salads, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for club events and presentations and festive gatherings.
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast catering in BN18: local guide
Across BN18, we cover 3 towns and 15 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Yapton, Arundel and Middleton-on-Sea or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of BN18 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. Around 15 places in BN18 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Yapton: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Yapton Free Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. PTAs at schools such as Yapton CE Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. In Yapton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
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.
Occasions we serve in BN18
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around BN18, such as:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Birthdays and anniversaries
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to BN18
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

BN18 questions
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
