FAQs for Eastbourne
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Princes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Eastbourne hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Eastbourne, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
