Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Roedean is about 2 miles east of Carlton Hill, in Brighton and Hove. Wherever your party is in Roedean, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Roedean is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove where we cater.
Parks such as Whitehawk Hill normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Nearby historic houses include Royal Pavilion (1.9 miles west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (3 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Roedean is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Your party could be at a house on Peel Road, Cliff Road and Henley Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

For event organisers in Roedean
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Sunset in Roedean is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Roedean
How far is Roedean from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at St Mark'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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What space does the roaster need?
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’ll check it with you before booking.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
