Party hog roast in Pett, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. Whether it is neighbourhood parties and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Pett, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Pett until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Pett
What’s the nearest station to Pett?
The closest is Three Oaks station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help

What else we do in Pett
Pett parties: what to know
Pett is about 5 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We cater parties of every size in Pett. We bring hog roasts to all 289 towns and villages across East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 32 miles away.
After a christening at a church like St Mary & St Peter, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Lamb House (4.7 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
This part of East Sussex takes in TN35, so your party can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Elms Lane, Pett Road and Chick Hill, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. For parties just outside Pett, we cover Fairlight Cove (1 mile south), Friar's Hill (1 mile west), Guestling Green (2 miles west), Fairlight (2 miles south-west) and Guestling (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Hastings (5 miles west), Bexhill-on-Sea (9 miles west), St Leonards (6 miles south-west), Hastings Old Town (4 miles south-west), Belmont (4 miles south-west) and Hollington (5 miles west).
A little further out are Conquest Hospital (4.5 miles west) and Winchelsea Court Hall Museum (2.7 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Royal Oak Inn (within half a mile north-west)
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
