Our hog roast hire in BN24

We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and salads, and we’re frequently booked for milestone birthdays and weddings, day or evening.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
We clear the serving area and pack away.

What you will pay

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Why book with us

Our staff serve and clear
Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

A hog roast across BN24: what to know

BN24 covers everything from Stone Cross, Pevensey Bay and Westham to 6 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. 7 of the places we cover in BN24 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot.

Stone Cross: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Luke's Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Historic houses near Stone Cross include Michelham Priory (4.8 miles north-west). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Stone Cross, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

A hog roast compared with other options

Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice.

What a hog roast costs

Here’s what affects the price:

The date and time of year
Whether you want china
Which meats and sides you choose
The serving time and how long we’re on site

For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What to tell us

To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:

The date and time of the event
An estimate of numbers
Any dietary needs or allergies
Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

Why a hog roast works

We are regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near BN24, such as:

Fêtes, fairs and shows
Gatherings after a funeral
Weddings and receptions

Space, access and the venue

Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo

Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

FAQs for BN24

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

Is it just pork?

The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.

Do you provide china?

Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
