Brighton in December: what to know
Brighton is in Brighton and Hove. We cover Christmas parties in Brighton, along with the towns and villages around it. Brighton is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove we cover.
For colleagues travelling by train, London Road (Brighton) station is in Brighton itself. Brighton is on or near the A23 and A259, so we can reach it easily in winter. Brighton is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 2 miles of Brighton, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Wherever your Christmas party is in BN1, BN2 and BN3, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From London Road, Isetta Square and Pelham Square or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. You will find Brighton on the A23 and A259, which makes the journey straightforward. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Hanover (1 mile south), Carlton Hill (1 mile south), West Hill (1 mile west), Hollingdean (1 mile north) and Seven Dials (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Brighton and Hove (3 miles west), Aldrington (3 miles west), Hangleton (3 miles west), Saltdean (4 miles south-east), East Saltdean (5 miles south-east) and Rottingdean (3 miles south-east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Brighton has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
A little further out are Brighton General Hospital (0.7 miles east) and Old Police Cells Museum (1 mile south-west). Within reach you’ll find Newmarket Hill and Whitehawk Hill.
- Schools near Brighton include Brighton Hove and Sussex Sixth Form College (0.9 miles west) and Academy of Creative Training (0.9 miles south)
- Nearby, you will find Park Crescent pub (within half a mile north-west)
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Brighton is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access

Perfect for your Christmas party in Brighton
Our staff serve and clear, whatever the weather.
Here’s what people in Brighton most frequently book a hog roast for:
- End-of-term celebrations
- Festive open evenings
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- Staff Christmas do’s
A winter fair at a school like Fairlight Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Questions to ask before you book
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Staffing on the day
- The space, cover and access they need
- Whether VAT is included
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. 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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Brighton
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
