Hog roast catering in BN3: local guide

BN3 covers everything from Brighton, Hove and West Hill to 0 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. 14 of the places we cover in BN3 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Brighton and Hove: Churches such as Holy Cross Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. For a fundraiser at a school like West Hove Infant School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. By late September, sunset in Brighton and Hove is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

Birthdays and anniversaries

The menu, dish by dish

Roast pork

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

Permission from the venue or landowner
Access for our equipment, without steps
A safe distance from walls, tents and trees

Full catering or machine hire?

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Looking after everyone

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

Put the menu on the invitation
Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.

Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
