A hog roast near Henfield
Christmas hog roast in Henfield, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Henfield, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We are frequently asked to cater new Year parties and end-of-term celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In Henfield, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Christmas parties in Henfield: local tips
Henfield is about 7 miles north of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We’re happy to travel to Henfield for Christmas parties. Henfield is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 9 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like St Peter's CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The South Downs National Park is within about 8 miles of Henfield; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We cater Christmas parties across BN5. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Upper Station Road, High Street and Lower Station Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Other places close to Henfield we cover include Woodmancote (2 miles south-east), Blackstone (2 miles east), Small Dole (2 miles south), Shermanbury (2 miles north) and High Cross (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (13 miles north), Horsham (9 miles north), Worthing (9 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (9 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (7 miles east) and Littlehampton (14 miles south-west).

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Henfield comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
