How our Christmas hog roast works in Catsfield
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and winter open days, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Catsfield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Catsfield in December: what to know
Catsfield is about 4 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Catsfield suit a hog roast. Catsfield is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 26 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, the nearest station is Battle station, about 2.2 miles north-east.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Catsfield are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Common questions in Catsfield
How far is Catsfield from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Catsfield too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
