Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Horsham
Is Horsham close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
