Falmer parties: what to know
Falmer is about 3 miles north-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Planning a hog roast for your party in Falmer? We cover the whole area. Falmer is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we cater.
Among the historic houses close to Falmer are Preston Manor & Gardens (3.5 miles south-west) and Anne of Cleves House (3.6 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. A christening at The Parish Church of St Lawrence followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Falmer is within about 4 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
For parties in BN1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Local streets include Middle Street, Park Street and Mill Street; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. If your venue is just outside Falmer, we also cover Kingston near Lewes (2 miles east), Iford (3 miles east), Ovingdean (3 miles south), Rottingdean (3 miles south) and Roedean (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Brighton (3 miles south-west), Brighton and Hove (5 miles west), Hove (5 miles south-west), Carlton Hill (4 miles south-west), Hanover (3 miles south-west) and West Hill (4 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Brighton And Hove Albion Football Club Museum (under half a mile south-west) and Lewes Castle (3.8 miles east). Open spaces near Falmer include Bevendean Down and Newmarket Hill.
- Local pubs include The Swan Inn (less than half a mile west)
- Local facilities include University of Sussex Library (0.5 miles west)

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Evening parties in Falmer need a little planning: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A heads-up for next door
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Common questions in Falmer
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Falmer too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. 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.
Why Falmer hosts choose us

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
