How hog roast hire works in BN8
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for festive gatherings and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you’ll pay
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

A hog roast across BN8: what to know
BN8 covers everything from Lewes, South Malling and Southover to 29 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. The South Downs National Park is within easy reach of places across BN8, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Ringmer: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, can book a hog roast stall. Within reach of Ringmer are historic houses such as Glyndebourne (1.1 miles south) and Glynde Place (1.9 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Evenings in Ringmer stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Events we cater in BN8
For big gatherings in BN8, a hog roast is hard to beat: one roast feeds a crowd, and the carving is part of the event.
These are some of the most popular hog roast bookings near BN8:
- Parties at home
- Staff days and open days
- Weddings and receptions
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
