Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Brighton Hill
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Brighton Hill. Popular choices include roast potatoes, roast turkey and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and sports club Christmas do’s.
In Brighton Hill, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day
- An itemised quote

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station for a festive feel.
