Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Pevensey Bay hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Wakes in Pevensey Bay: venues and practical details
Pevensey Bay is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Planning a hog roast for the wake in Pevensey Bay? We cover the whole area. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Pevensey Bay to Brighton (21 miles away).
Families holding a service at St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay frequently gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the roast can be ready. The coast is within about 5 miles of Pevensey Bay, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.
We cater wakes across the BN24 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a wake in a garden on The Square, Sea Road and Marine Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Pevensey Bay, we also cover Pevensey (1 mile north-west), Westham (2 miles west), Langney (2 miles south-west), Normans' Bay (2 miles north-east) and Jenkins' Green (2 miles west).

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In late September, sunset in Pevensey Bay is about 7:00pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
