How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Around midsummer it stays light in Roedean until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Roedean questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Whitehawk Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
