A hog roast near Cooper's Green
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Cooper's Green, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

What else we do in Cooper's Green
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Cooper's Green: venues, access and local tips
Cooper's Green is about 2 miles north of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Planning a hog roast in Cooper's Green? We can help. Cooper's Green is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 15 miles away.
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. A green space like Hempstead Meadow is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Cooper's Green is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
Events anywhere in TN22 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Whether your event is on Court Lane, London Road and Buxted Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Nearby, we also cater events in Buxted (1 mile east), Uckfield (2 miles south), Potter's Green (2 miles east), Etchingwood (2 miles east) and Framfield (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Seaford (15 miles south), Lewes (9 miles south-west), Hailsham (11 miles south-east), Crowborough (5 miles north-east), Newhaven (14 miles south) and Peacehaven (14 miles south).
A little further out are Tickerage Castle (2.5 miles south-east) and Uckfield Community Hospital (1.7 miles south). Open spaces near Cooper's Green include Brickfield Meadow.
- Nearby schools include Uckfield College (1.2 miles south)
- Nearby, you’ll find Ringles Cross pub (0.5 miles south)
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Cooper's Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Hempstead Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Five Ash Down Independent Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
We cover East Sussex and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
For event organisers in Cooper's Green
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What we serve, dish by dish
