Hog roast hire for your event in Belmont
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Belmont, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and garden parties and barbecues, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and salads for your guests.
Around Belmont, bookings are frequently at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

Belmont: venues, access and local tips
Belmont is about 1 mile south-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Events in Belmont are part of our patch. We cater all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex. We cater events right across the region, from Belmont to Brighton (about 31 miles away).
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy, can book a hog roast stall. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Emmanuel Church or Roman Catholic Church of St Mary Star of the Sea, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Belmont is within about a mile of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN34 and TN35, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Crown Lane, Croft Road and Manor Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to events in Hastings Old Town (1 mile south), Rock-a-Nore (1 mile south-east), America Ground (1 mile south-west), Blacklands (1 mile north-west) and St Helen's (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (14 miles west), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles west), Hailsham (15 miles west), Polegate (15 miles west), Old Town (15 miles south-west) and Upper Horsebridge (15 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (under half a mile south-west) and Hastings Castle (under half a mile south-west). The countryside around Belmont includes Church Wood and Robsack Wood.
- Local schools include University School (0.8 miles west) and William Parker Sports College (1.4 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Roebuck Inn (within half a mile south-east)
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Belmont, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:

- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Belmont hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
