Our hog roast hire in BN7
In BN7, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are new potatoes, coleslaw and salads, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and parties at home.
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Cost
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Local landmarks in Lewes
We set up the roaster for events around Priory School, Railway Land and Elephant and Castle pub, among other places. You’ll also find Church of St John sub Castro (under half a mile east), St Pancras Catholic Primary School (under half a mile south-west) and Lewes Old Grammar School (within half a mile south). The nearest railway station is Lewes station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Lewes Castle (within half a mile south) and St John under the Castle Lewes (within half a mile north). Open spaces near Lewes include Offham Hill and Malling Down.
Planning a hog roast in BN7
Across BN7, we cover 3 towns and 10 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Lewes, Telscombe and South Malling to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of BN7 are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. Around 4 places in BN7 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Lewes: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Lewes Old Grammar School, can book a hog roast stall. Historic houses near Lewes include Anne of Cleves House (0.6 miles south) and Glyndebourne (2.6 miles east). 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 Lewes, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Access for our equipment, without steps
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value.
What your quote should include
- A clear list of what’s included
- VAT, if it applies
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
