Hog roast hire across BN21
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in BN21. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for clubhouse events and summer garden parties.
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

A hog roast across BN21: what to know
From Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across BN21 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Around 7 places in BN21 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Old Town: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Gildredge House, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Mary, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Late September evenings in Old Town lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
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 DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What affects the price in BN21
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
