Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How our party hog roast works in Rottingdean
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For wedding anniversaries and retirement celebrations, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling for your guests.
In a small place like Rottingdean, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Rottingdean questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Wulfran's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Rottingdean from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
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 don’t offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For an evening party in Rottingdean, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why choose a hog roast in Rottingdean?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
