How hog roast hire works in TN38
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in TN38: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include garden parties and barbecues and wakes, serving coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.

St Leonards has its own railway station: St Leonards Warrior Square station, handy for guests travelling by train.

Planning a hog roast in TN38
There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in TN38, 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. 7 of the places we cover in TN38 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
St Leonards: A green space like Summerfields Wood is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. For a fundraiser at a school like St Leonard's Church of England Primary Academy, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Around midsummer it stays light in St Leonards until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Access for our equipment, without steps
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to TN38
- Site access
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
