Christmas hog roast in Ebernoe, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are often asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and club and society Christmas parties, serving roast potatoes, roast turkey and crackling.
Near Ebernoe, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast turkey can be added.

Ebernoe: your questions answered
Is Ebernoe too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically 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 a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
