What else we do in Tidebrook
Tidebrook: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Wadhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you trade at school fairs around Tidebrook?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest a way to make it work.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We will agree what suits yours.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
What happens on the day
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 Tidebrook stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early

How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Tidebrook events: pitches and permissions
Tidebrook is about 6 miles east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Events in Tidebrook are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We cater all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Tidebrook to Brighton (about 23 miles away).
A summer fête at The Parish Church of St John the Baptist is the classic setting for a hog roast. School fairs, for a school like Uplands Community College, are a natural fit for a hog roast. Events in and around the High Weald National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Tidebrook, frequently have rules about cooking, vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
Wherever your event is in TN5, we can roast on site for your visitors. For events just outside Tidebrook, we cover Rusher's Cross (1 mile south-west), Coggins Mill (1 mile south-west), Mayfield (2 miles south-west), Mark Cross (2 miles north-west) and Argos Hill (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south-east), Hailsham (12 miles south), Crowborough (6 miles west), Uckfield (10 miles south-west), Polegate (15 miles south) and Heathfield (5 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Ticehurst House Hospital (4.5 miles east). The countryside around Tidebrook includes Bewl Water.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Permission for cooking on the site
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
