Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-September events in Pevensey lose the light at about 7:00pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
