How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Your date and serving time

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Hog roast hire in Broad Oak, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include wakes and staff days and open days, serving halloumi skewers, salads and coleslaw.
In a hamlet or village like Broad Oak, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Common questions in Broad Oak
What’s the nearest station to Broad Oak?
The closest is Doleham station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Broad Oak?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
East Sussex is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
