What affects the price in Crawley Down
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-December sunset in Crawley Down comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
