How our Christmas hog roast works in Clapham
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We’re often asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and festive family get-togethers, serving apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes.
Near Clapham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What else we do in Clapham
Clapham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Clapham?
The closest is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
A hog roast compared with other options
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal

For event organisers in Clapham
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Clapham in December: what to know
Clapham is about 3 miles north-west of Worthing, in West Sussex. Christmas parties in Clapham are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. Clapham is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Clapham to Brighton (about 14 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Goring-By-Sea station, about 2.1 miles south. Clapham is on or near the A280, so we can reach it easily in winter. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Clapham, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about 5 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Wherever your Christmas party is in BN13, we can roast on site for your guests. Streets in the area include The Street, Long Furlong and Church Close, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Clapham is on the A280, which makes the journey straightforward. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Patching (1 mile north-west), Cote (1 mile east), Hammerpot (2 miles west), Durrington (2 miles south-east) and Hangleton (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Worthing (3 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (11 miles west), Chichester (14 miles west), Littlehampton (4 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (8 miles east) and Lancing (6 miles east).

Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
