Our hog roast hire in GU28
In GU28, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and wakes.
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

What’s near Petworth
Bookings here are frequently close to The Old Square Tavern, Petworth Cof E Primary School and Sacred Heart Church and the streets around them. Petworth’s nearest station is Pulborough station, roughly 4.4 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Coates Castle (2.6 miles south) and Coultershaw Heritage Site (1.2 miles south). Within reach you will find The Mens.
Planning a hog roast in GU28
Across GU28, we cover 3 towns and 17 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Petworth, Lodsworth and Hampers Green to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of GU28 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Petworth: If guests are travelling by rail, Pulborough station, about 4.4 miles south-east, is the nearest station. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Light matters for a long roast: around Petworth, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.
What your quote should include
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Whether plates or china are included
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
