A hog roast near Laughton
Hog roast hire for your event in Laughton
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Laughton, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater sports clubs and societies and weddings and receptions, serving hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers.
In a rural place like Laughton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which often makes it better value. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What else we do in Laughton
Bringing a hog roast to Laughton
Laughton is about 5 miles south of Uckfield, in East Sussex. Wherever your event is in Laughton, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Laughton is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 12 miles away.
Churches such as The Parish Church of All Saints rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. Nearby historic houses include Glyndebourne (3.4 miles south-west) and Glynde Place (3.7 miles south-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Laughton, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
Wherever your event is in BN8, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Shortgate Lane, Lewes Road and Pound Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the B2124, Laughton is easy for us to reach for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ripe (2 miles south), Golden Cross (2 miles east), Wickstreet (4 miles south-east), Selmeston (4 miles south) and Berwick (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (10 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles east), Seaford (8 miles south), Lewes (6 miles west), Hailsham (6 miles south-east) and Crowborough (11 miles north).
A little further out are Tickerage Castle (5 miles north) and Uckfield Community Hospital (4.8 miles north). The countryside around Laughton includes Cliffe Hill.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evenings in Laughton stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Questions from Laughton
Is Laughton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Laughton?
The closest is Glynde station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
East Sussex is part of our area. Contact us for a price.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
