A hog roast near Eastbourne
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Eastbourne
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include sports club Christmas do’s and year-end thank-yous, serving rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
A cooking spot near the door works best in December. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Eastbourne
Which station is closest to Eastbourne?
The closest is Hampden Park station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.

Eastbourne in December: what to know
Eastbourne is in East Sussex. Thinking about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Eastbourne? We cover the whole area. Eastbourne is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Eastbourne to Brighton (about 19 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Stafford Junior School, suit a hog roast. With the A22 and A259 nearby, December journeys to Eastbourne are straightforward. Eastbourne is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Christmas parties in Eastbourne are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
