About our hog roast for events in Buxted
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Buxted. We roast on the pitch through the day and carve rolls to order, keeping the queue moving. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for summer fêtes and club events.
Near Buxted, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
