How hog roast hire works in RH20
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and salads.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Hog roast catering in RH20: local guide
There are 3 towns and 30 villages and hamlets in RH20, so whether your event is in Horsham, Storrington and West Chiltington Common or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of RH20 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Storrington: A green space like Parham Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For a fundraiser at a school like Storrington Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Late September evenings in Storrington lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
What your quote should include
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Whether VAT is included
