Hog roast hire across BN43

From Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick and Kingston by Sea to 2 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN43 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. 5 of the places we cover in BN43 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Shoreham-by-Sea: Coming by train? Shoreham-By-Sea station serves Shoreham-by-Sea directly. PTAs at schools such as Buckingham Park Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Light matters for a long roast: around Shoreham-by-Sea, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

What affects the price in BN43

The price comes down to:

  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Menu choices and extras
  • How many people are eating
  • How long the roast and service take

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, and the quote reflects that.

What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

Planning the cooking spot

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

  • Vehicle access close to the cooking area
  • A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
  • Cover for your guests in bad weather

Organising for someone else?

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Planning for dietary needs

Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

  • Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
  • Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
  • Put the menu on the invitation
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly

We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

BN43: your questions answered

Do we need a big space?

It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.

Do you cook it or do we?

Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.

Can you do gluten-free?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How long does the roast need?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

How soon do you get booked up?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

Can you cater in BN43?

Yes, BN43 is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.

  • Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
  • Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
  • Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
  • Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
