Hog roast hire in Mountfield
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Mountfield hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose

Hog roast hire in Mountfield, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Mountfield: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We’re frequently asked to cater milestone birthdays and festive gatherings, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere like Mountfield, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Planning a hog roast in Mountfield
Mountfield is about 7 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cater events of every size in Mountfield. Mountfield is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 28 miles away.
For guests coming by train, Robertsbridge station is about 2.3 miles away. Churches such as The Parish Church of All Saints rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Mountfield is within about 6 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.
For events in TN32, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean an event in a garden on Church Road, Solomon's Lane and Eatenden Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Mountfield questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is crackling included?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
