Hog roast hire across BN9
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in BN9. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and summer garden parties, with salads, crackling and new potatoes.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- 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 arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Cost
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Planning a hog roast in BN9
Across BN9, we cover 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Newhaven, Peacehaven and Denton to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Around 6 places in BN9 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Newhaven: For a fundraiser at a school like UTC@Harbourside, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Newhaven, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
BN9 questions
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
