A hog roast near Crowborough
Hog roast hire in Crowborough, carved to order
In Crowborough, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings and receptions and wakes.
A town like Crowborough gives you plenty of options: a garden, a club, a hall or a venue. We’ll agree where the roaster goes beforehand. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef
