How Christmas hog roast works in Brighton and Hove
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We are often asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and year-end thank-yous, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes.
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
What you will pay
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Local landmarks in Brighton

Green spaces within easy reach include Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
Festive bookings in Brighton and Hove
From Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill to 6 villages and hamlets, December brings parties at work and at home across Brighton and Hove. Plan lighting and a short route to the food. Around 30 places in Brighton and Hove are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Brighton: Christmas fairs at a church such as St Martin's Church can book a hog roast stall. For colleagues travelling by train, London Road (Brighton) station serves Brighton directly. By about 3:55pm in late December, Brighton is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December.

Common questions in Brighton and Hove
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
