How our party hog roast works in West Blatchington
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. Popular choices include coleslaw, crackling and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding anniversaries and garden parties.
For a party in West Blatchington, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally 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.

West Blatchington parties: what to know
West Blatchington is about 1 mile north-east of Brighton and Hove, in Brighton and Hove. Parties in West Blatchington are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. West Blatchington is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove where we cater.
Nearby historic houses include Preston Manor & Gardens (1.3 miles east) and Portslade Manor (1.7 miles west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. A green space like Hove Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of West Blatchington, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Wherever your party is in BN3, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on Frant Road, Nevill Road and Nevill Avenue or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Main roads around West Blatchington include the A2038, which makes travel to your party easy. If your venue is just outside West Blatchington, we also cover Brighton and Hove (1 mile south-west), Hove (1 mile south), Aldrington (1 mile south-west), Westdene (1 mile north-east) and Withdean (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Carlton Hill (3 miles south-east), Hanover (3 miles south-east), Kemptown (3 miles south-east), Whitehawk (4 miles south-east), Moulsecoomb (3 miles east) and Bevendean (3 miles east).

Questions from West Blatchington
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to West Blatchington?
The closest is Aldrington station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evening parties in West Blatchington need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
