Our Christmas hog roast in East Sussex

Fridays in December go first, so contact us as soon as you know your date. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, crackling and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for club and society Christmas parties and late-night shopping events.

The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Why a hog roast works

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Before you choose a spot

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:

  • A level outdoor area that can be lit
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
  • A lit route to the food

Common questions in East Sussex

Can you cater outdoors in December?

Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Do you provide china?

Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

Do you clear up?

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

Do you need power or water?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Can you serve inside our office or hall?

We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
