Hog roast hire across TN36

We serve crackling, salads and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for festive gatherings and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

Local landmarks in Winchelsea
We set up the roaster for events around Rye Harbour LNR, St Thomas' Church of England Aided Primary School and Rye College and the streets around them. You will also find The Parish Church of St Thomas the Martyr (within half a mile south) and The New Inn (less than half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Winchelsea station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include Winchelsea Court Hall Museum (within half a mile north-west) and Camber Castle (1.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Winchelsea include Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
A hog roast across TN36: what to know
There are 3 towns and 4 villages and hamlets in TN36, so whether your event is in Winchelsea, Winchelsea Beach and Icklesham or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 4 places in TN36 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Winchelsea: Parks such as Rye Harbour LNR normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. For a fundraiser at a school like St Thomas' Church of England Aided Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Winchelsea, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Who books hog roast hire?

A hog roast compared with other options

What your quote should include
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- The menu, including sides and any extras
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
