Planning a Christmas party in East Preston

East Preston is about 2 miles east of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Christmas parties in East Preston are part of our patch, along with the towns and villages around it. We bring hog roasts to 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 15 miles away.

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as East Preston Infant School, suit a hog roast. If people are coming by rail, Angmering station, about 0.6 miles north-west, is the nearest station. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of East Preston, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Wherever your Christmas party is in BN16 and BN12, we can bring the roaster to you. Streets in the area include The Street, Station Road and Beechlands Close, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party

Here’s what affects the price:

  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • Site access
  • Crockery choices
  • Numbers

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Details that help

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:

  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • The address or postcode
  • Rules from the venue or landowner

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Why choose a hog roast in East Preston?

Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. 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.

Why us?

  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • An itemised quote
  • Serving and clearing done for you

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Count who does not eat pork
  • Add dietary questions to the invite

A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.

Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
