Our party hog roast in East Sussex

A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re often asked to cater naming ceremonies and street parties, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.

Pricing in East Sussex

Around 106 places in East Sussex are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Eastbourne: Thinking of a hog roast in Princes Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Hampden Park station, about 0.7 miles north-west. Evening parties in Eastbourne need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Request gluten-free rolls
Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Working with your venue

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.

How soon do you get booked up?

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Will the smell bother the neighbours?

Give them a heads-up.

Is mains power needed?

The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

How big a hog will we need?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.

How much does a hog roast cost?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
