Christmas parties in Boxgrove: local tips
Boxgrove is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. A hog roast suits Christmas parties around Boxgrove, whatever the venue. Boxgrove is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Boxgrove to Brighton (about 25 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, hot rolls go down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize can book a hog roast stall. The coast is within about 6 miles of Boxgrove, and winter sea winds can be bitter.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Boxgrove, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

FAQs for Boxgrove
Do you come out to small places like Boxgrove?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Boxgrove?
Chichester station, about 3.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you come to Boxgrove?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Boxgrove and West Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Is lighting needed?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
