Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Golden Cross
Which station is closest to Golden Cross?
Berwick (Sussex) station, about 3.6 miles south of the centre.
Is Golden Cross close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
