About our hog roast hire in Crumbles
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We serve spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and weddings and receptions.

Crumbles questions
Which station is closest to Crumbles?
The closest is Pevensey & Westham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is Crumbles close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Around midsummer it stays light in Crumbles until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
