Festive bookings around Jevington
Jevington is about 3 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Jevington, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cater all 289 towns and villages in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Jevington to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Willingdon Community School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as The Parish Church of St Andrew draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Jevington is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
This part of East Sussex takes in BN26, so your Christmas party can be anywhere in it. We can cater a Christmas party on streets such as Jevington Road, Church Lane and Green Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. For Christmas parties just outside Jevington, we cover Ratton Village (2 miles east), Friston (2 miles south), East Dean (2 miles south), Old Town (3 miles south-east) and Hampden Park (3 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (3 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (5 miles west), Lewes (11 miles north-west), Hailsham (5 miles north) and St Leonards (15 miles east).

Christmas hog roast in Jevington, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are crackling, roast turkey and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for festive family get-togethers and christmas fairs.
In winter near Jevington, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

The closest is Polegate station, roughly 2.3 miles away.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
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.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
