Christmas hog roast in Emsworth
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Emsworth is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Emsworth questions
How far is Emsworth from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Eames Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you come to Emsworth?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
For planners, venues and organisers

About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Parking near the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
