Slow-roasted pork in Hastings
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
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.
About our party hog roast in Hastings
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We serve rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater street parties and summer parties in the garden.
Parties in Hastings can be anywhere from a home to a function room. We need a level outdoor spot. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

What affects the price in Hastings
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Common questions in Hastings
Can you cater after a service at St Luke's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Hastings?
The closest is St Leonards Warrior Square station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What if things run late?
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.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
