Christmas hog roast for Crawley
About our Christmas hog roast in Crawley
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Crawley suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for staff Christmas do’s and sports club Christmas do’s.
In winter near Crawley, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

FAQs for Crawley
What’s the nearest station to Crawley?
Winchester station, about 4.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Crawley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Where the roaster can go in Crawley
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short route for our equipment
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Indoor space for eating
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
