About our party hog roast in Hanover
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Hanover, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include crackling, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and big family get-togethers.
In a place like Hanover, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Perfect for your party in Hanover
You are a host, not a cook.

Hosting a hog roast party in Hanover
Hanover is about 1 mile south of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cater parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Hanover and the surrounding area. We cater all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you had Queen's Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Brighton station, about 0.6 miles west. Hanover is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about a mile, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover parties in every part of BN2, BN1 and BN50. Local streets include Elmore Road, London Road and Milton Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater parties in Brighton (1 mile north), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Seven Dials (1 mile west) and Kemptown (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Westdene (3 miles north-west) and Saltdean (4 miles south-east). Being one of Brighton and Hove’s larger places, Hanover has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
Nearby you’ll also find Old Police Cells Museum (0.8 miles south-west) and Brighton General Hospital (0.6 miles east). The countryside around Hanover includes Whitehawk Hill and Newmarket Hill.
- Local schools include Academy of Creative Training (0.6 miles south) and Brighton Girls (1 mile west)
- Local pubs include The Dover Castle pub (under half a mile south)
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

At midsummer, it is light in Hanover until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
