About our party hog roast in Uckfield
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. We are frequently asked to cater retirement celebrations and engagement celebrations, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Garden parties are a favourite in Uckfield, and a hall or club works if the garden is small. We need a level spot away from the house. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in Uckfield need a little planning: 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.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
For event organisers in Uckfield
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
