Our hog roast hire in BN5
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and sports clubs and societies.
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast hire across BN5
From Henfield, Small Dole and Blackstone to 5 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN5 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.
Henfield: Churches such as St Peter's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. PTAs at schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Henfield, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What affects the price in BN5
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for

Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Parking near the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

FAQs for BN5
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
