About our party hog roast in Beckley
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for street parties and retirement celebrations.
A country party near Beckley is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Beckley is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Hosting a hog roast party in Beckley
Beckley is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Beckley and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Beckley to Canterbury (28 miles away).
For party guests on the train, Winchelsea station, about 4.4 miles south-east, is the nearest station. A christening at The Parish Church of All Saints followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover parties in every part of TN31 and the streets around it. That could mean a party in a garden on King's Bank Lane, Royal Oak Close and Whitebread Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. With the B2088 close by, Beckley is simple for us to get to for your party. For parties just outside Beckley, we cover Flackley Ash (2 miles east), Northiam (2 miles north-west), Beckley Furnace (2 miles south-west), Peasmarsh (2 miles south-east) and Broadland Row (3 miles south).

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

Beckley: your questions answered
Is Beckley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: 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. Send us the address.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
What affects the price in Beckley
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
