A hog roast near Eastbourne
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, events in Eastbourne stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Common questions in Eastbourne
Can you roast near the sea around Eastbourne?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
