Preston is about 1 mile north-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Preston and the surrounding area. Preston is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
With the A23 nearby, getting our equipment to site is straightforward. Nearby historic houses include Preston Manor & Gardens (under half a mile south) and Royal Pavilion (1.7 miles south). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for caterers. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy.
Anywhere in BN1, BN3 and BN88, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your staff event could be at a house on Home Road, Bates Road and Loder Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Open days in Preston usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your staff

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
FAQs for Preston
Which station is closest to Preston?
Preston Park station, in Preston itself.
Can you do a hog roast in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
Can a company book?
Get in touch with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
