Hog roast hire across Brighton and Hove
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves.

Planning a hog roast in Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove covers everything from Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to 6 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 30 of the places we cover in Brighton and Hove are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Brighton: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as St Martin's Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Coming by train? London Road (Brighton) station is in Brighton itself. In Brighton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two.
Questions to ask before booking
- What crockery is supplied
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- How dietary needs are handled
- Whether travel is included
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
