FAQs for Icklesham
Which station is closest to Icklesham?
Winchelsea station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Icklesham from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Icklesham are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or TN36 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Plan separately for halal if needed
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
