Hog roast for events for Sedlescombe
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking 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.
How our hog roast for events works in Sedlescombe
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. For school events and church and village fêtes, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Rural events near Sedlescombe can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Signpost the stall clearly
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Sedlescombe stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
