About our Christmas hog roast in Hardham
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. On the menu are roast turkey, roast potatoes and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for year-end thank-yous and staff Christmas do’s.
For a Christmas party near Hardham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- All the equipment comes with us

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
