Common questions in Hollington
What’s the nearest station to Hollington?
St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Anne: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you travel across East Sussex?
All of East Sussex is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
How our hog roast hire works in Hollington
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s clubhouse events and christmas fairs, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling for your guests.
In a smaller place like Hollington, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Who books hog roast hire in Hollington?

A hog roast in Hollington: local details
Hollington is about 1 mile north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Hosts in Hollington book us for events of all sizes. Hollington is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 30 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Hollington Primary Academy, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. A green space like Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The coast is within about 3 miles of Hollington, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
We cover events in every part of the TN38, TN37 and TN34 postcode area and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Kent Road, Duke Road and Ford Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Being close to the A21, Hollington is simple for us to get to for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Silverhill (1 mile south-east), Hastings (1 mile south-east), Baldslow (1 mile north), St Helen's (1 mile east) and St Leonards (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (4 miles south-west), Hailsham (13 miles west), Polegate (14 miles west), Old Town (14 miles south-west) and Heathfield (14 miles north-west).

A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. 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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
