Slow-roasted pork in Peacehaven
Hog roast hire for your event in Peacehaven
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers.
For a place the size of Peacehaven, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

FAQs for Peacehaven
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Peacehaven close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do you come to Peacehaven?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Peacehaven and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Peacehaven hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
