Hog roast hire for your event in Salehurst
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere like Salehurst, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Light matters for a long roast: around Salehurst, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
How to get a price

Salehurst questions
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Salehurst?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
East Sussex is part of our area, including Salehurst. Get in touch for a price.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why book our hog roast in Salehurst

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
