Slow-roasted pork in Silverhill
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Party hog roast in Silverhill, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. For summer parties in the garden and retirement celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
In a place like Silverhill, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Silverhill parties: what to know
Silverhill is about 1 mile west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Parties in Silverhill are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Silverhill is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 30 miles away.
A green space like Alexandra Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Matthew's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in TN38, TN37 and TN34, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on Duke Road, Vale Road and Drury Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Silverhill, we also cover Hastings (1 mile east), Hollington (1 mile north-west), St Leonards (1 mile south), Blacklands (1 mile east) and St Helen's (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Bexhill-on-Sea (4 miles west), Hailsham (13 miles west), Polegate (14 miles west), Old Town (14 miles south-west) and Heathfield (15 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (1.3 miles south-east) and The True Crime Museum (1.2 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Church Wood and Robsack Wood and Senlac Hill.
- Schools near Silverhill include William Parker Sports College (0.9 miles north-east) and University School (1 mile south-east)
- Local pubs include The Duke pub (under half a mile north)

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

Common questions in Silverhill
We’re gathering after a service at St Matthew's Church: 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.
How far is Silverhill from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your party for a quote.
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.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
