What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event

How our Christmas hog roast works in Hoyle
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. For family Christmas gatherings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
In a small place like Hoyle, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Hoyle, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

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. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Christmas parties in Hoyle: local tips
Hoyle is about 9 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Wherever your Christmas party is in Hoyle, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Hoyle is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Hoyle to Guildford (21 miles away).
A Christmas fair at The Parish Church of St James is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles of Hoyle; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Questions from Hoyle
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hoyle close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
