About hog roast hire in TN34
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in TN34, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re often asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and festive gatherings, with coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Cost
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Around Hastings
In Hastings, that can mean an event near St Paul's Church of England Academy, The Duke pub and William Parker Sports College and the streets around them.

The closest station to Hastings is St Leonards Warrior Square station, roughly 0.9 miles south of the centre.

A hog roast across TN34: what to know
Across TN34, we cover 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Hastings, St Leonards and Hastings Old Town to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 12 places in TN34 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Hastings: If you had Alexandra Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Paul's Church of England Academy, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Planning an evening hog roast in Hastings? Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Why a hog roast works
You don’t need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. We bring the rest.
However big or small the event in TN34, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:
- Staff days and open days
- Garden parties and barbecues
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Festive gatherings
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
