A hog roast near Chidham
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Chidham are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

How our Christmas hog roast works in Chidham
