What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices

Christmas parties in Fontwell: local tips
Fontwell is about 5 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Fontwell is well within our area for Christmas parties and the places nearby. Fontwell is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 23 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Ormiston Six Villages Academy gets dark early, so hot food is popular. If a church like Westergate Mission Hall is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. Fontwell is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 5 miles of Fontwell, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

What else we do in Fontwell
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. Christmas parties in Fontwell are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.

Questions from Fontwell
Do you come out to small places like Fontwell?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
