How our hog roast hire works in Litlington
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and Fêtes, fairs and shows, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
In a rural place like Litlington, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast in Litlington: local details
Litlington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. We take a hog roast to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Litlington. We bring hog roasts to 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 13 miles away.
Churches such as The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
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. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Your questions about a hog roast in Litlington
Can you roast near the sea around Litlington?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
For event organisers in Litlington
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By late September, sunset in Litlington is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
