A hog roast near Brighton and Hove
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, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, Brighton and Hove is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

- We confirm the space and send a price.

- We carve and serve hot on cue.

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Brighton and Hove
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and lights switch-on evenings.
For a festive get-together in Brighton and Hove, hot pork and turkey make a change from the usual. Plan lighting and a short route from the roaster to the party. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

For event organisers in Brighton and Hove
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
A hog roast compared with other options
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Brighton and Hove: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
