About our Christmas hog roast in Hunny Hill
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Whether it’s club and society Christmas parties and festive family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas get-together near Hunny Hill, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Hunny Hill: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Hunny Hill?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hunny Hill is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- 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.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
