Hog roast hire across BN1
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in BN1. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. We serve spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and village fêtes and school fairs.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Cost
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day

Planning a hog roast in BN1
BN1 covers everything from Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to 3 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Around 19 places in BN1 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Brighton: Historic houses near Brighton include Royal Pavilion (0.8 miles south-west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.1 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. For guests coming by train, London Road (Brighton) station serves Brighton directly. Light matters for a long roast: around Brighton, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
FAQs for BN1
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
