Party hog roast near Crowborough
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and leaving and retirement do’s.
In Crowborough, home and the local hall are popular party venues. Either works, as long as there’s space outside. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Crowborough
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Crowborough station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What do people get?

Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
