What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Hosting a hog roast party in South Heighton
South Heighton is about 1 mile north of Newhaven, in East Sussex. From village halls to gardens and fields, parties around South Heighton suit a hog roast. South Heighton is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from South Heighton to Brighton (about 8 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Castle Hill? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Nearby historic houses include Monk's House (2.9 miles north-west) and Firle Place (3 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. South Heighton is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 4 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.

South Heighton questions
Can you roast near the sea around South Heighton?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
