Hog roast hire in Swaile's Green
How our hog roast hire works in Swaile's Green
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Swaile's Green, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Whether it is sports clubs and societies and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling and more.
Somewhere as small as Swaile's Green, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Swaile's Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Swaile's Green?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Marks Staplecross: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
We cater across East Sussex, including Swaile's Green. Get in touch for a price.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
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.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-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. In Swaile's Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
