Your questions about a hog roast in Hastings Old Town
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Clement?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Hastings Old Town close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Around midsummer it stays light in Hastings Old Town until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
