How our hog roast hire works in Brighton and Hove
In Brighton and Hove, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We are frequently asked to cater club events and presentations and christmas parties, with coleslaw, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Gardens in Brighton and Hove vary a lot, and most can take a roaster if there is side access and clearance. A nearby hall or club is a good alternative. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in Brighton and Hove is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
