How hog roast hire works in RH16
In RH16, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We’re often asked to cater christmas parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.
- 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.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

A hog roast across RH16: what to know
RH16 covers everything from Haywards Heath, Cuckfield and Lindfield to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Haywards Heath: If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of the Presentation, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Thinking of a hog roast in Scrase Valley? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Planning an evening hog roast in Haywards Heath? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it.
Questions to ask before you book
- The full menu and the sides
- How dietary needs are handled
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- VAT, if it applies
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Time on site
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
