Our hog roast hire in BN50
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in BN50, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and wakes, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
What you’ll pay

Hog roast catering in BN50: local guide
BN50 covers everything from Carlton Hill, Hanover and Brunswick to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Around 4 places in BN50 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Carlton Hill: Historic houses near Carlton Hill include Royal Pavilion (within half a mile west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.5 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Parks such as Queen's Park generally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. In Carlton Hill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two.

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
