Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

What else we do in Peacehaven
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Space for people to queue
- A level pitch with firm ground
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or BN10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
