Choosing a hog roast caterer

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Why Hurstpierpoint hosts choose us

  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • All the equipment comes with us
  • Served at the time you choose

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.

What a hog roast costs

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How long the roast and service take
  • Site access
  • The number of people
  • Distance from us

Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

What to tell us

To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:

  • Roughly how many people
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • What the outdoor space is like
  • The address or postcode

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Give your coordinator the final menu
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice

We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.

Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Hurstpierpoint questions

Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Which station is closest to Hurstpierpoint?

Hassocks station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.

What space does the roaster need?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

What happens in bad weather?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Do we need to provide electricity?

The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What happens after service?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

How big a hog will we need?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

The process

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Hurstpierpoint, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
  5. We carve and serve, then clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
  • Power for lights in the evening
  • A short walk from the serving station to the guests
