Common questions in Clanfield
Is Clanfield close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can the food be served indoors?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or PO8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Clanfield
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Count who does not eat pork
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast turkey can be added.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, it’s dark in Clanfield by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- 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.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
