Our hog roast hire in BN42

With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for wakes and garden parties and barbecues.

We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
  4. We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
  5. We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast catering in BN42: local guide

From Shoreham-by-Sea, Portslade and Southwick to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN42 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Around 5 places in BN42 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Southwick: For a fundraiser at a school like Eastbrook Primary Academy, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Michael and All Angels Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Southwick, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Planning the cooking spot

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:

  • A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
  • Any venue rules sorted in advance
  • A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Planning for dietary needs

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

  • Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them

Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
