Party hog roast in St Leonards, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and apple sauce, and we are often booked for engagement parties and family reunions.
In St Leonards, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A hog roast suits both, as long as there’s space outside. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

St Leonards questions
Can you do a hog roast in Summerfields Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around St Leonards?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you come to St Leonards?
Yes, St Leonards is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.

What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why choose a hog roast in St Leonards?
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
