Little Horsted questions

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?

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

Can you do a hog roast in Hempstead Meadow?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?

It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

How much will it be?

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Is crockery included?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Can you cook inside the marquee?

Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What you get with us

  • The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
  • Timed around your day

About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

Stuffing and apple sauce

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Space, access and the venue

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

  • Lighting for evening service
  • Step-free access for our equipment
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For event organisers in Little Horsted

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

The process

People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evening food at a Little Horsted wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
  5. Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
  • Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Ask for a quote

To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
