DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Plumpton
Do you come out to small places like Plumpton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
