Pyecombe: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Pyecombe?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is Pyecombe too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Party venues around Pyecombe
Pyecombe is about 4 miles south of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. We are happy to travel to Pyecombe for parties. Pyecombe is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater.
Historic houses near Pyecombe include Preston Manor & Gardens (4 miles south) and Portslade Manor (4.5 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Hassocks station, roughly 1.9 miles north-east of the centre. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles of Pyecombe, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 6 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over BN45 and the streets around it. Whether your party is on London Road, School Lane and Church Hill or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
