- We serve to order through the event.

What else we do in Alfriston
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How we price a hog roast for your event
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.
What the cooking area needs

- A safe distance from other traders
- Space for people to queue
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast near the sea around Alfriston?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
