Book a hog roast in Crowhurst
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
About our hog roast hire in Crowhurst
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For christmas fairs and wakes, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling for your guests.
Somewhere like Crowhurst, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Why choose a hog roast in Crowhurst?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Bringing a hog roast to Crowhurst
Crowhurst is about 3 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Crowhurst, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Crowhurst is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Crowhurst to Brighton (28 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Churches such as The Parish Church of St George rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. The coast is within about 5 miles of Crowhurst, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
Anywhere in TN33, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Station Road, Craig Close and Old Forewood Lane; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to events in Green Street (1 mile south-east), Hollington (2 miles south-east), Baldslow (2 miles east), Silverhill (3 miles south-east) and Bulverhythe (3 miles south).

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
