How hog roast hire works in PO10
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We are frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and staff days and open days, with crackling, salads and halloumi skewers.
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast catering in PO10: local guide
From Chichester, Emsworth and Denvilles to 7 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO10 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. 6 of the places we cover in PO10 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Emsworth: After a service at Church of St James, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For a fundraiser at a school like St James Church of England Controlled Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Late September evenings in Emsworth lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook.
Comparing caterers
- How many staff will carve and serve
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- A clear list of what’s included
- Plates, china and cutlery
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Questions from PO10
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
West Sussex is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
