How our Christmas hog roast works in Halnaker
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Halnaker. Whether it’s society Christmas socials and late-night shopping events, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Halnaker, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Halnaker are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A lit route to the food
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Halnaker in December: what to know
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Halnaker and the surrounding area are covered for Christmas parties. Halnaker is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Halnaker to Brighton (25 miles away).
A Christmas fair at The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, hot rolls go down well. The coast is within about 6 miles of Halnaker, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of PO18 and the streets around it. Whether your Christmas party is on The Street, Stame Road and Oakford Park or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Halnaker, we also cover Boxgrove (1 mile south), Waterbeach (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile south-west) and Westerton (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south), Chichester (3 miles south-west), Selsey (10 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles south-east) and Emsworth (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Chichester Centre (2.9 miles south-west) and The Chichester City Museum (3.4 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Levin Down.
