What’s near Hurstpierpoint
We set up the roaster for events around Downlands Community School, Hurstpierpoint Baptist Church and St Lawrence CofE Primary School. For guests coming by rail, the closest station is Hassocks station, roughly 1.5 miles south-east. Nearby you’ll also find The Dene Hospital (2.1 miles north) and Clayton Castle (2.3 miles south-east). The countryside around Hurstpierpoint includes Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve and Wolstonbury Hill.
Hog roast catering in BN6: local guide
Across BN6, we cover 3 towns and 14 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Lewes, Hurstpierpoint and Hassocks to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of BN6 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.
Hurstpierpoint: For guests coming by train, Hassocks station is about 1.5 miles away. Churches such as Hurstpierpoint Baptist Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. In Hurstpierpoint, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
