A hog roast across TN37: what to know
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in TN37, so the setting can be anything from Hastings, St Leonards and Hollington to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Around 8 places in TN37 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Baldslow: For anyone arriving by rail, Ore station is about 2.3 miles away. For a fundraiser at a school like Ark Helenswood Academy, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. By late September, sunset in Baldslow is around 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why a hog roast works
You don’t need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. We bring the rest.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Clubhouse events
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
