Near Charlton, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas parties in Charlton are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

For event organisers in Charlton
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

We cater all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 24 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Singleton CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Charlton; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
