Christmas hog roast in Battle, slow-roasted on site
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Battle. We’re frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, with halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In Battle, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Light by the serving table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in Battle is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.

Before we arrive
