Slow-roasted pork in Udimore
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Other occasions in Udimore
Udimore for film and TV crews
Udimore is about 6 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. From village halls to gardens and fields, shoots around Udimore suit a hog roast. Udimore is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Udimore to Canterbury (about 30 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Winchelsea station, about 2.1 miles east. Historic houses near Udimore include Lamb House (3.4 miles east) and Great Dixter (4.8 miles north-west). Period locations like these normally keep catering well away from the house, so agree the base early. The coast is within about 4 miles of Udimore, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will eat.

Udimore questions
Do you come out to small places like Udimore?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast near the sea around Udimore?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A route for our vehicle
- A level area at base
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
