Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Hangleton hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- An itemised quote

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
For event organisers in Hangleton
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Questions from Hangleton
Can you do a hog roast in Benfield Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
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.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
