About our Christmas hog roast in Barnham
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater winter open days and christmas markets, serving crackling, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Barnham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Questions from Barnham
Can you roast near the sea around Barnham?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Barnham?
Barnham station, in Barnham itself.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order for a festive feel.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
China crockery is available on request.
