Hosting a hog roast party in The Pound
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. We cater parties of every size in The Pound. We cover all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 23 miles away.
A green space like Ashburnham Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. For guests coming by train, Battle station, about 4.5 miles east, is the nearest station. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of The Pound, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Anywhere in TN33, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on Church Road and Linghams Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Close by, we cover parties in Ashburnham (1 mile north), Brownbread Street (1 mile north-west), Bodle Street Green (2 miles west), Wood's Corner (3 miles north) and Trolliloes (3 miles west).

Questions from The Pound
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you come to The Pound?
Yes, The Pound is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
