Cliffe: venues, access and local tips
Cliffe is about 1 mile east of Lewes, in East Sussex. Cliffe and the surrounding area are covered for events. We bring hog roasts to all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 7 miles away.

Cliffe questions
Which station is closest to Cliffe?
Lewes station, in Cliffe itself.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Thomas at Cliffe?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We cover East Sussex and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What affects the price in Cliffe
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
