How we price a hog roast for your team
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BN3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Aldrington
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Aldrington: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Aldrington?
Portslade station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Hove Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. After-work summer events in Aldrington have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
