About our Christmas hog roast in Bolney
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are often asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and sports club Christmas do’s, serving apple sauce, roast turkey and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Bolney, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What’s the nearest station to Bolney?
The closest is Wivelsfield station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Bolney?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Will there be enough to go round?

What happens after service?

What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Bolney in December: what to know
Bolney is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Wherever your Christmas party is in Bolney, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Bolney is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Bolney to Brighton (about 12 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Mary Magdalene's Church can book a hog roast stall. For colleagues travelling by train, the nearest station is Wivelsfield station, about 4.1 miles south-east. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Bolney, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. Christmas parties in Bolney are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
