A hog roast near Hollingbury
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Party hog roast near Hollingbury
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and retirement parties, with jacket potatoes, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.

FAQs for Hollingbury
We are gathering after a service at Fountain Centre: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planning a party in Hollingbury
Hollingbury is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cater parties of every size in Hollingbury. We cater all 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove.
If you had Wild Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. After a christening at a church like Fountain Centre, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Hollingbury is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in BN1, we can roast on site for your guests. Local streets include Keymer Road, Warmdene Road and Carden Avenue; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Patcham (1 mile west), Withdean (1 mile south-west), Hollingdean (1 mile south), Preston (1 mile south-west) and Westdene (1 mile west).

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an evening party in Hollingbury, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
