Parties in Bevendean: homes, halls and local tips
Bevendean is about 1 mile north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cover Bevendean and its neighbours for parties. Bevendean is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover.
Thinking of a hog roast in Whitehawk Hill? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it. Nearby historic houses include Royal Pavilion (2 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (2.1 miles west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Bevendean is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Parties anywhere in BN2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Whether your party is on Baden Road, The Avenue and Manton Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. Nearby, we also cater parties in Moulsecoomb (1 mile north-west), Whitehawk (1 mile south), Hollingdean (1 mile west), Brighton (1 mile south-west) and Hanover (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also cater in Brighton and Hove (4 miles west), Hove (3 miles west), Brunswick (3 miles south-west), Aldrington (4 miles west), Hangleton (4 miles west) and Patcham (3 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Churchill Square (2.3 miles south-west) and Brighton General Hospital (0.9 miles south-west). The countryside around Bevendean includes Newmarket Hill and Bevendean Down.
- Schools near Bevendean include Brighton Aldridge Community Academy (1.3 miles north)

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an evening party in Bevendean, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to Bevendean
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
