What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Christmas hog roast in Cuckfield, slow-roasted on site
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are often asked to cater year-end thank-yous and winter open days, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In Cuckfield, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Cuckfield: your questions answered
Is Cuckfield close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
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’ll follow the site rules.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens if it’s dark?
It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Cuckfield in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
