A hog roast across BN2: what to know
BN2 covers everything from Brighton, Carlton Hill and Telscombe to 3 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Around 15 places in BN2 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Carlton Hill: If you had Queen's Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Late September evenings in Carlton Hill lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or BN2 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Who books hog roast hire?
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.
People around BN2 book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Club events and presentations
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Questions from BN2
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you come to BN2?
Yes, BN2 is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
