How hog roast hire works in RH12
Booking a hog roast means you don’t 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. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

A hog roast across RH12: what to know
There are 3 towns and 13 villages and hamlets in RH12, so whether your event is in Crawley, Horsham and Bewbush or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Horsham: If guests are travelling by rail, Horsham station is in Horsham itself. Parks such as Warnham Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Light matters for a long roast: in Horsham, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Permission from the venue or landowner
