Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What affects the price in Wilmington

Planning a party in Wilmington
Wilmington is about 4 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Planning a hog roast for your party in Wilmington? We cover the whole area. Wilmington is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 14 miles away.
Within reach of Wilmington are historic houses such as Alfriston Clergy House (1.9 miles south-west) and Michelham Priory (3 miles north). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. If the day starts at St Mary and St Peter's Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. The South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles of Wilmington, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 6 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Parties anywhere in BN26 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Local streets include The Street and Ades Field; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Close by, we cover parties in Milton Street (1 mile south-west), Winton (2 miles west), Arlington (2 miles north), Berwick (2 miles north-west) and Lullington (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (5 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (5 miles south-west), Lewes (9 miles north-west), Hailsham (4 miles north-east) and Uckfield (11 miles north).

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Wilmington, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
