Hog roast hire across RH13
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and club events and presentations.
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- 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.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Cost
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

A hog roast across RH13: what to know
From Horsham, Roffey and Southwater to 25 villages and hamlets, bookings across RH13 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Southwater: For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Christs Hospital station, roughly 1.9 miles north-west of the centre. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Southwater Infant Academy, can book a hog roast stall. Light matters for a long roast: in Southwater, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
What affects the price in RH13
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

FAQs for RH13
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
