About hog roast hire in East Sussex

A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in East Sussex: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include work summer parties and community events, with new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.

Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving.

Planning a hog roast in East Sussex

From Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea to 240 villages and hamlets, bookings across East Sussex range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Parts of East Sussex are within a few miles of the High Weald National Landscape and the South Downs National Park, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. 106 of the places we cover in East Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Eastbourne: After a service at St Andrew, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For anyone arriving by rail, Hampden Park station, about 0.7 miles north-west, is the nearest station. Late September evenings in Eastbourne lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

An estimate of numbers
The address or postcode
What the outdoor space is like
