Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Planning an evening hog roast in Chichester? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Your questions about a hog roast in Chichester
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Chichester?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

We cover West Sussex and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
