Hog roast for events near Denton

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.

Event catering near Denton
Denton is about 1 mile north-east of Newhaven, in East Sussex. Our roaster is a regular sight at events around Denton, from gardens to fields. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 9 miles away.
School fairs, for a school like Denton Community Primary School and Nursery, are a natural fit for a hog roast. An event in Castle Hill means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, typically the council. Within about 5 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we work to the site rules. With the sea within about 3 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events.
Wherever your event is in BN9, we can roast on site for your visitors. Streets in the area include New Road, Avis Road and Hill Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Denton sits on or near the A26 and A259, which makes travel to your event easy.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-September events in Denton lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

What do you need from the organiser?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can visitors buy their own food?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will talk it through.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
