Why choose a hog roast in Pevensey Bay?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which generally keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Questions from Pevensey Bay
Can you roast near the sea around Pevensey Bay?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay?
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 will gather.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Pevensey Bay, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.

Preparing for the day

- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
