Christmas hog roast in Goose Green
About our Christmas hog roast in Goose Green
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Goose Green. We are often asked to cater christmas family parties and festive open evenings, with apple sauce, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In winter near Goose Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Goose Green hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Common questions in Goose Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Goose Green?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
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.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
