About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Bognor Regis
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include roast turkey, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for year-end thank-yous and staff Christmas do’s.
A cooking spot near the door works best in December, so food reaches guests hot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Bognor Regis questions
Can you roast near the sea around Bognor Regis?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in West Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you roast in the rain?
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.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
