Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast in Newhaven: local details
Newhaven is about 8 miles east of Brighton, in East Sussex. Newhaven is well within our area for events. Newhaven is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 8 miles away.
If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. If you had Castle Hill in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Newhaven is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access. Newhaven is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
We cater events across BN9 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as High Street, Station Road and Dacre Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

FAQs for Newhaven
Could you cook in Castle Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: 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’ll gather.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
We cover East Sussex and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
