About our event catering in Uckfield
We’re event caterers who cook on site. In Uckfield, that means a hog roast, a barbecue or both, cooked outdoors under cover at your venue, with our staff serving and clearing. Typical bookings include community fun days and corporate days, with beef burgers, pulled pork and hog roast rolls with crackling.
Uckfield has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. If yours has outdoor space, we can cater there. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How the day works
A hog roast is cooked before serving and carved to order; a barbecue is cooked as people come up. Either way, we serve and tidy up. In Uckfield, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
