Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Hove questions
Is Hove close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in Hove by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
