About hog roast hire in BN25
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and birthdays and anniversaries, serving hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes.
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

A hog roast across BN25: what to know
BN25 covers everything from Seaford, Tide Mills and Bishopstone to 4 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. Parts of BN25 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 5 of the places we cover in BN25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Seaford: For anyone arriving by rail, Seaford station, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the nearest station. PTAs at schools such as Seaford Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Seaford, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
BN25 questions
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
