Hog roast hire across BN20

A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s hog roast hire in BN20. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. We serve spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for birthdays and anniversaries and weddings, day or evening.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Cost

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Hog roast hire across BN20

From Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN20 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Around 11 places in BN20 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Lower Willingdon: Among the historic houses close to Lower Willingdon are Alfriston Clergy House (4 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4 miles north-west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Churches such as St Wilfrid rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Lower Willingdon, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

For event organisers in BN20

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Allergies and dietary needs

Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance

We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

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.
