Christmas hog roast in Framfield, carved to order

Near Framfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 3:55pm in late December, Framfield is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- 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
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Framfield
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for

Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What happens if it’s dark?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
