What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose

Send us the date, the address or BN7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, the light in Lewes goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Preparing for the day
